There are not many, who are prepared to tell their sad stories about elder abuse that affected them or their loved ones. I've just received a email from a visitor, who are brave enough to tell her story.
If you have a similar case or other news about elder abuse that affected you or your family, please contact me. It is a way to off load your griefs and help to spread Awareness of the 'Crime of the Century' as some may put it.

Here is that story:
On Mon, Apr 12, 2010
My Mother was Cecilia Elizabeth Argue, Baroness Wesselenyi. She had a stroke at age 77 and we nursed her at home for 3 years until my father had a heart attack. We then placed her in Versa Care , 180 Scott Street St. Catharines Ontario. She was there for 2 years 5 months, my Dad visiting her every day all that time. We brought her home every 3 weeks to be with our family , and also every holiday. In May , three years ago, she sustained 2 broken legs (femurs) at the hands of the staff of Versa Care, they withheld medical treatment and covered it up. My Mom could not speak, so she could not tell us what happened. There was a 9 week police investigation, it was concluded that the injuries happened at the hands of my Mom.... the 3 nursing staff were fired. My Mom spent 13 months in the hospital. Last year Feb 21st 2009 , my Mom passed away, her legs had died and turned black, she went into a coma and passed away. We are in a lawsuit against the Nursing home . If families would sue these nursing homes , the homes would have to change their care, but too many families just walk away to allow them to do this all over again!!! The courts deem our elderly are expendable and also turn a blind eye on the very people who fought for our country and built our hospitals and schools and deserve better than this at the end of their lives!!!
