This is a long time friend with no history of drug or alcohol use at all.
Stable history, upstanding citizen.

She had fallen and broken her hip, was in a lot of pain and nursing home was giving her pain
meds. One night she said she wanted to try skipping one dose of the pain meds, and would
take it later if she needed it. She was afraid of getting addicted to the stuff.

The staff didn't like this idea and reported her.
She was shocked when the nursing director accused her of hoarding drugs to sell them!

This friend had made some polite complaints prior about the conditions in the nursing home.
This was their revenge we figured.

Good information to have. Trying to stay at home together as long as possible.

UnitedHealth Group, the nation’s largest healthcare conglomerate, has secretly paid nursing homes thousands in bonuses to help slash hospital transfers for ailing residents – part of a series of cost-cutting tactics that has saved the company millions, but at times risked residents’ health, a Guardian investigation has found. Those secret bonuses have been paid out as part of a UnitedHealth program that stations the company’s own medical teams in nursing homes and pushes them to cut care expenses for residents covered by the insurance giant.

In several cases identified by the Guardian, nursing home residents who needed immediate hospital care under the program failed to receive it, after interventions from UnitedHealth staffers. At least one lived with permanent brain damage following his delayed transfer, according to a confidential nursing home incident log, recordings and photo evidence.

“No one is truly investigating when a patient suffers harm. Absolutely no one,” said one current UnitedHealth nurse practitioner who recently filed a congressional complaint about the nursing home program. “These incidents are hidden, downplayed and minimized. The sense is: ‘Well, they’re medically frail, and no one lives for ever.’”

The Guardian’s investigation is based on thousands of confidential corporate and patient records obtained through sources, public records requests and court files, interviews with more than 20 current and former UnitedHealth and nursing home employees, and two whistleblower declarations submitted to Congress this month through the non-profit legal group Whistleblower Aid.
