Today, my mother was transferred from the hospital to a long-term care facility. Nobody I talk to at the hospital knows what facility they sent her to. FML

Today, I visited my Mum. She has invited me to visit her before, but kept cancelling whenever I tried to arrange an actual visit. I finally went over anyway, only to find her in a soiled nappy, room in ruins, with kidney failure-induced dementia. Sometimes they hide it well over the phone. FML
Today, my mother passed away in the hospital. My sister and brother refused to tell me which hospital she was staying at so I couldn’t say goodbye. They blocked my number. This was all because apparently I was the favorite and they did this as a vendetta against me. FML
Today, my mother-in-law moved in with my husband and I, where she shits the bed and herself. There's a waiting list for the nursing home, so in the meantime I’m cleaning up her shit and she isn’t even my mother. FML
Today, my mother messaged me via Facebook me to say that my father had died. They knew since the start of the year but didn't bother to tell me. I live 10 minutes from the hospital he was in. FML
Today, without telling me, my mom dropped me off at my grandmother's house, and drove off. Now I'm supposed to spend the next month with her. Guess she forgot my grandma died six weeks ago. FML
Today, I went to visit my parents after 4 years of not seeing them. They'd moved without telling me. FML
Today, I’m an adult and my mother lives with me, not me with her. She found out I was going to be gone for 9 days on vacation and that she couldn’t come, so she had a “mental break down” and checked herself into a psych ward. Last year, she did the same thing when I graduated college and celebrated it. FML
Today, my mom hadn't talked to me for 5 days, so worried sick I called my grandpa. She's been in jail, and no one cared to inform me. Great. FML
Today, I found out that my mother has been telling several people that my fiancé and I will be moving into her house for the foreseeable future. All because we're moving to a city close by for jobs and are still searching for housing. I found this out from several of the people she told. FML
Today, my dad's new girlfriend, who he met in Vegas, flies in. My mother is still alive in a dementia care facility. I don't know how to feel about this. FML

That is most definitely something that should have been written in her file. Speak to a case manager. Don't let them put you off or tell you not to worry, if they didn't write it in her records it's a major problem on their part.

There is no mother, YOU are the long term patient at the psychiatric hospital for hallucinations.

Ask them who is your moms emergency contact or durable power of attorney (DPOA). They could be lying to you, because you're not over her well being. Once you find out who the DPOA is get in contact with them. If the DPOA doesn't know where your mom is they can talk with the hospital for you, and call you back.

There could be two reasons: (1) Your mother does not want to disclose personal information to you or (2) The staff is being difficult for who knows what reason. When a patient is discharged, it is documented in the progress notes as to where they are being sent to and even if not, there should be a transfer authorization number. It seems to me that this long-term care facility is new to her and thus, there should be documents about it accepting her as a new patient. Then there is an issue of the staff not wanting to access her chart because unless there is a valid reason, discharged patient charts should not be accessed due to confidential reasons. If that is the case, go to health records and request for a copy of the information, but be prepared to pay for it and bring proof of ID that you are indeed related to your mom.

If they aren't giving you any info whatsoever, then I think its time to goto the local news media & get answers. They definitely don't want 'bad press' for their hospital loosing patients when its there responsibility to keep up with all of it when they are their patient. Shalom.

Sounds like everyone at the hospital needs to be transferred to a long-term care facility!

Her doctor has to know where she is. If even he/she can't find out then it's time to go to the police. Report the hospital for kidnapping.
