California: Veteran Found in Assisted Living Home Had Been Deceased For 4 Days

Breitbart:

The Department of Veterans Affairs pulled all residents from an assisted living home in Van Nuys, California, after finding a veteran who had been dead for four days. The incident followed several complaints of mistreatment in the region.

A VA social worker visited the Van Nuys assisted living home and found a veteran who died four days earlier, according to a Department of Veterans Affairs investigation reported by Military.com. The investigation also detailed abuses of veterans including a 100-year-old diagnosed with sepsis. The California Villa home denied prescribed antibiotics because they were โ€œnot covered by Medicare.โ€ The patient had to be hospitalized a second time due to the error.

The report cited a double dose of medication to another veteran. A third person was denied prescription drugs and charged him $5 per meal because he preferred to eat in his room, the article states. more here

  1. In ’61 I knew a “doughboy”. a real “deplorable”; no money WASP. He depended on the VA. Health “care” was a joke. He did not live to see ’70!

    The VA has been a fraud at least since ’61!
