StumbleState pulls license of Alzheimer’s home in Henderson
Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2009 | 3:34 p.m.
CARSON CITY – The state has pulled the license of a home that cared for Alzheimer's patients in Henderson after the owner pleaded guilty to attempted exploitation of the elderly.
The state Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance issued its license revocation to owner Cynthia S. Ramos and administrator Virginia Acoba of the TLC Alzheimer’s Facility, 155 Emden Drive.
Ramos, in a plea agreement, agreed to plead guilty to exploitation and to one count of conspiracy to commit theft. Under the agreement, she was ordered to give up ownership of the home as well as a second home, TLC Alzheimer’s Facility on Skipjack Drive.
The license for facility 2 was relinquished in September and the home was closed. But the license was never surrendered so the bureau took the action to revoke the active license.
Ramos then voluntarily sundered her license in January and there were no residents living in the home.

So let's understand, getalife, somehow you think making fun of seniors with Alheizmers is cute.
I hope you never have to deal with a parent that is older and dealing with old age issues.
I think if you did, you're outlook would be much different.

BTW, God bless her, my Mom will be 90 at the end of the month. She has some dementia and Alzheimers, but a certain medication has her doing very well. She lives in a nice residential setting which she really likes. Thank God.
OKay, lets be real, I have a grandparent with alzheimers and yes it sucks. But I forgot how nobody has a sense of humor and everybody must be politically correct. Man, I miss Prez Bush already.
I have a great sense of humor, it's just that sometimes a little restraint is a better fit for the situation.
Those are real people and real family members that got affected by the actions of these operators. I see the site pulled your post. There must be a reason. I am sure you were just trying to be funny, but it wasn't.
