Oh Linda, I can so relate. I would be VERY upset too and I would be at that nursing home, meeting with the director, the director of nursing, the social worker and anyone else I could meet with. That just cannot happen!!! I think Medicare will pay for the ambulance, but it was unnecessary, if they had just notified the family in a timely manner. That is unacceptable. The best way to get things done is to make your voice known. Go to the NH, meet with everyone, make sure they know who you are. If you want to get things done, you have to make some noise. I wish it weren't like that, but it is.
