March 2, 2015

I had been packing out my meds for at least a year and a half in retribution not only make me wait for rcs that often don't show up or wide off the mark of the established 9:30am and 7:30 pm complained to Paula Weiss, my therapist about Keith Ellis misusing medication monitoring to harrass me, with the look on Paula's face and her statement that she would email him to stop he only changed the type of abuse i feel that others have complained about supervisor keith's treatment of them

Debbie Davis said she told her therapist Leah Cooperman about the game of keep away that shatara and keith were playing with paperwork she needed and Leah told her that others have complained about keith and that she would put an end to the games of saying that Debbie owed $2,000 and could not leave the program until it was paid, debbie has only been here about 3 1/2 months

-----When inspector howard was here keith said he was going to follow me upstairs to see that I wrote only good things, then said he was joking when I went upstairs with the form survey on consumer satisfaction the question of 3 years on how slh cornerstone handles grievances is now gone for the past 2 years and now in addition to that one missing the form is very short so csa can control the statistics on consumer complaints.

can see what a strain it is for Congressman Murphey to try to get the funds so that American citizens including veterans don't die on the street of exposure and starvation, very sad times.

keith ellis likes party time and will get his amusement from clients patients and his staff in one way or another jessica's face when i was sitting at the computer in the old office whose building burned down and was condemned

holding back checks as long as possible to prove something with debbie screaming and pointing out the dates on the checks keith has not been able to hold back the checks in this house but the others have to wait, his excuses last year of weekends holidays snow even days after it had been cleared and the roads were cleared or that he hadn't had time to pick it up from lamberton but debbie found out they had been holding onto to them and they were in the office two months in a row keith was just holding them back for some reason. causing hardship on people who are barely making it.
--------------

Jesus said and the Old Testament that if an employer had the money in his hand not to withhold it from the laborer and not to make the laborer wait, a workman is worthy of his hire

i asked keith last february 2014 how he would like it if his checks were withheld for 5 or 6 days beyond the expected date for 3 months in a row with bogus excuses needed to get cab after 5 pm hard to get cab to go home waiting outside Giant in the freezing weather would not give it 2 hours before med times when there was still a med time arlene very nice but seemed reluctant to give the checks early even though i was right there

with debbie threatening to and calling social security since november keith no longer holds back the checks in his possession but which are not keiths only entrusted to him to distribute for this household but not the others in bel pre cluster

3 months of hard sell to go into erics class won't help with camera hippa excuse bogus laptop i am in the middle of his fight with jessie harding the voc rehab person and keith will not cooperate to help me in the least van board don't seem to have the supplies since eric left but it is better with the new art specialist she is professional and kind and it is more of a work environment not so tense with eric volutility and explosions--------

to waste my time and very limited energy trying to communicate when keith will not allow me to say two sentence and will not listen told him i would get paula my therapist to translate.
--------------------


Don't remember if Amanda Tillman was one who told me this but Barrie with MJ would require a patient's RC to defend them against accusations that does not sound like good team work to help clients barrie friedman and susan wilkoff have strange ideas about helping mental health patients to become functional.


As things get darker people will be looking for the light
study the plan and the way home


Leaky Faucet logo for Cornerstone

Indicative of the lack of respect for clients the people they are supposed to be helping without favortism basic privacy and clients' rights which are not even posted as according to law on bulletin board of HUD and Cornerstone Grievance Policy and Rights though have requested Keith post them and list of RCs several times.

keith has rarely if ever treated me as a client with problems but as a subordinate or employee required to joke around to please the boss instead of addressing issue in a mature manner. I have asked him to stop clowning around and sit down and talk to me like an adult but he will say he is an adult and be off to the races poking jabbing trying to get a response from a party like atmosphere and the real issues or never addressed he just waves them away and I think this is a misuse of medication monitoring time. He would often spend most of the medication meetings texting about other issues and that is a violation of the 15 minutes that clients are supposed to have to talk about issues and problems now he mostly teases on and on or jokes on and on and it is very insulting and a gross misuse of time and the issues are never addressed. Like a teenager in Junior High who knows that someone gets upset being teased but can't resist going on and on with it. This causes me anguish and inability to function and makes me feel helpless as clients are helpless if grievance policy is ignored by Susan Wilcoff and Core Services. The only power I have is to witness the terrible things I have seen including the verbal abuse of a 67 year old client who I believe would have died if I had not called Adult Protective Services. Betty Levy had gone to Montgomery ER by ambulance 12 to 15 times and the record should exist no one of the RCs would accompany Betty who had very visible physical problems feet too swollen to fit in shoes and very swollen almost constantly weeping of one eye to help her talk to her doctors to find out why she was not getting treatment. Watching this neglect and abuse was also very traumatic for me.

Citizen's Advisory Committees on Mental Health to watchdog my complaint to Maryland Licensure
Boston and Maryland Advocacy Groupsfs


Never a chance to bring up important issues at medication meetings because of Keiths inappropriate and constant joking around, criticism including of my shuffling feet, I have arthritus and my pants leg getting caught on a loose nail, keith said it was my fault for wearing clothes that did not fit and though i asked keith and other rcs including david to call maintenance to have the numerous nails covered they did not and it was only when gus came to fix something else i asked him if he was here to fix it and he said he had not heard about it but he did fix the hanging and dangerous nails.

I have asked for rights in an appropriate manner, Keith Ellis refused to hear me for over 6 months about liver just didn't hear wondered if sound was coming out of my mouth


I have asked for rights in an appropriate manner, Keith Ellis refused to hear me for over 6 months about liver blood vessel and I needed a CT after it was discovered by the orthopedist who ordered the MRI, it was an incidental finding, and I did finally have an ultrasound but even before that Dr. Polam my PCP said after the ultrasound you WILL have a Cat Scan of your liver. Keith and other RCs just didn't hear wondered if sound was coming out of my mouth - at one point I insisted that Keith listen and said he was not taking my problem with the blood vessel in my liver and help in getting the Cat Scan seriously and he said, "Are you taking your liver problem seriously? then did not address it again until much later. Typical of the nonsensical responses that I get from Keith Ellis when trying to discuss serious problems.

med monitoring much too close together

This is the most important thing that RCs do, it used to be that there was a schedule for meds on the bulletin board with the name of the RC responsible for meds at that time. There was a line of evening meds EVERY DAY at 7:30pm
and a line of morning meds at 9:30am which is a space of ten hours.

For more than a year can never depend on when RCs will come for meds, there is not a list of names of the new RCs which is required by the Threshold/St. Lukes Rights and responsiblities, the new grievance policy has not been posted on the townhouse bulletin board and Beth Vonieff, previous housemate, took the HUD grievance policy and no one will replace it. Howard should have checked this at house inspection.

RCs can come anywhere from 8am to 11:30am or anywhere from 5pm to 6:30pm which often is not enough time between the medications for safety. On the weekends the RCs come once in the morning supposedly at 10:30 but often much earlier or much later or not at all.

Robbie's sudden death at the age of 29 years what effect did the decades of meds have on Lora Duvall handfuls of meds can't space it out - it may be necessary to take alot of medications twice a day because of staff time but they should be dependable and with enough time in between used to be about a 10 hour stretch between 9:30am and 7:30 pm--10 hours now very, very erratic morning can be from 7 or 8 am until 11:30 am or later then come for evening meds between 5pm to 6:45pm barely 7 hours or less between meds often the same meds taken morning and night need to go back to a regular schedule with enough time between the time staff shows up for meds

they push you over the edge with their hounding making people who could be functional utterly non-functional like a nagging mother in law from hell opposite effect put downs criticism not listening to serious health issues not hearing at all even after worked so hard while ill for inspection masonite board camera things they could do always own agenda constant put downs this is not what was envisioned by med monitoring betty giving up not eating 90 degree heat threats of losing housing all the time depressed paralyzed by fear

i don't hardly have the words to describe how the hounding and harraasing me to see a staff member , Eric Gordon, who abused me in terrible ways Keith kept sayingwe let you use the basement for a studio -- no interest either in the work itself or the ideas for marketing and my desperate need for a camera to get anywhere and internet access after the complaint I must make too uncomfortable to use the one in the office which will not let you use flashdrive anyway and lawrence megan and dwayne

why is everyone now a screamer pressuring people who could be functional into giving up and becoming so non functional can't even make anything to eat

Susan Wilkoff gross violation of the law and helped by rebecca garcia, questions on questionnaire delivered by howard missing to manipulate statistics on slh failure to perform job, treating clients like inmates, ignoring physical problems screaming poor decision no extra household supplies til gus the day before inspections.

who worked on my itp not me though rights say i must did susan wilkoff or Barrie Friedman work on it more covering behind, what problems with current house mates why no mention of serious physical problems which i have told repeated ly to all rcs liver kidney and thyroid onlymentioned corn or callus on bottom of foot is thi responsible this is my itp and physical problems determine fatigue and napping why no mention of important problems why is nurse marshall mentioned as provider when noone would tell me about her using my name to pay for services i have not received

I signed my ITP though I did not work on it as required in Rights and Responsiblities and that was early October took weeks of asking until I got a copy and my ITP did not mention my thyroid problems, my liver problem, my pulmonary problems, my new RC Anna brought a copy and I said that the copy someone else brought me did not contain my physical problems as can be verified by the testing, ultrasounds, needle biopsies etc though the itp said I nap all the time. Anna said she would try to squeeze it into my itp and took the copy back that was at least two weeks ago, today is November 23, 2014.

Keith Ellis brushes me aside when I try to read to him from Rights and Responsibilties and other material about Patient Rights including Elder Abuse brochure from the Department of Aging. Who will enforce patient rights? Susan Wilcoff will not do her job and Core Services took off the question HOW DOES ST. LUKE'S/THRESHOLD/CORNERSTONE handle complaints at the yearly questionnaire that Howard brings to house inspections. I would like to know and someone needs to do an investigation as to why this most important question was taken off. The one last October was very short and it looked like CSA had taken off other questions about Cornerstone Montgomery's performance as assessed by clients which is the only way for clients to have any voices at all but the one that concerns me most is the one on handling grievances. For three years this question was on the yearly inspection questionnaire but for the past two years it has been missing. It seems obvious that it was messing up the statistics so someone at CSA agreed to remove it.

If House Inspection was treated the way Susan Wilcoff treats grievances the toilets and bathtubs would be stopped up for years and the townhouses would look like New York tenaments. Why are grievances and client rights essentially not done by people who are getting paid to do oversight??



hounding salesman can show to the door I have to be present for meds

not doing the job contracted and paid to do that is stealing I am not getting the services contracted for if the med meetings are always joking around, text messaging or worst of all hounding and harrassing about seeing Eric Gordon even though I said again and again the last time he came as close as he dared to punching me in the face, I was the only one who cleaned the house for inspections, Melissa refused to do anything but her room and Betty was too ill and screamed at and they went back and forth between idea of hiring a maid which was too late for me to save for but betty had the money but could not communicate with Merry Maids so they cancelled, Meghen and David only came for two hours the day before inspection and David came for an hour the day just before inspection this is heavy duty Spring Cleaning though in the fall and a 60 year old woman myself and a 67 year old woman Betty Levy with serious health problems cannot do it alone especially since the usual partnering for at least a week ahead of inspection did not take place and the extra cleaning supplies were not given that we always have before inspections gus gave us alot of supplies but it was the day before inspection and came from maintenance and in this case endangering life

the nails hanging down on the one step from living room to dining room caught pants leg several times then fell thought broke knee but the thing is Gus came and fixed it right away as soon as maintenance knew with Ms Wilkoff

situations go on year after year until someone with terribl need to hurt people like staff member mr gordon do those terrible things to clients emboldened by lack of response to terrible things done to clients rcs do not speak with respect any longer to clients just like the abuse described in brochure from dept of aging

like teacher rating end of semester could not go on year after year questionnaire data points if the power says that people they are supposed to be serving should be held in contempt it goes on down the line

a huge # of staff quitting - usually the ones who care about clients - just because you are very good at bitter, brutal office politics does not mean you are good for patients, usually the ones who care about clients have spent their energy on learning to help mental health patients and not on brutal, "wild meetings".

RETRIBUTION
TRYING to make me look bad for bogus reasons because I made a written complaint to Congressman Murphey, PA and the Montgomery County Council

both Keith and Kathy behaved differently to Melissa Willard and Mike Puel who has since quit a year after I stopped working with him as job coach was very enthusiastic about my artwork until I asked him to email Eric Gordon about my needs in producing and marketing my art, 3 things, a large canvas, use of a camera to be able to put my most recent work of the past year onto my art website and information about digital painting transferring some of my sequences of gymnasts that I did in computer graphics onto a large canvas.

If Eric Gordon ever replied to Mike he never said but his whole attitude to me changed after I asked him to email Eric when Christina thought I had a right to the services in art that Eric Gordon and Cornerstone claims is for ALL clients who are proficient in art.

alot of junior high school students have committed suicide due to the type of "teasing" Keith Ellis has been directing towards me for a very long time misusing my required presence at medication monitoring.

that kind of "humor" shows a lot of hostility and I am sick from that hostility being directed at me, Keith will not quit or take me seriously unless I complain to Congressman or Adult Protective Services and then it only abates for a short time. Very formal complaint to adult protective services contact head of Dept of Aging if first contacts are afraid to act against a group home. ABUSE IS ABUSE WHETHER IT TAKES PLACE IN A PRIVATE HOME OR A GROUP HOME.

This abusive attitute that "clients"/Patients are less than the dust is coming from above at the Program Manager level esp Susan Wilkoff's 4 year refusal to do her job so patients are powerless against this type of abuse if the Patients Rights are never enforced and staff knows it and Susan Wilkoff is in violation of Comar laws meant to protect client/patients.

At the end of the St. Luke's grievance policy it used to say that the Department of Mental Health had a section which would help clients write grievance if needed, why is this no longer mentioned in the Cornerstone/Montgomery grievance policy and why is it not on the bulletin board?
driven to the wall thrats constant of losing housing betty crying trying to do whst they want

I would like to make an addendum to my ITP and request why the ITP was written by David Minestone without my input although Threshold Rights and Responsibilities states that it is client right to be present and a part of the creation of the ITP why did it take weeks of asking for a copy of my ITP after I signed it with the proviso that David would quickly give me a copy asked keith and other rcs repeatedly for it was promised by keith that an RC would bring it next day but did not, was over a month before I received it and nearly two months before new RC Anna gave me a copy when I told her that I had read a copy given to me a week before and requested to know why my serious physical problems as proved by MRI, CT, Ultrasounds, Pulmonary testing, x-rays were not included in ITP she said she could not change it then said she would try to squeeze it in but that was weeks ago. I have serious thyroid, pulmonary, liver, umbilaca hernia, bone degeneration in my lumbar spine because it took well over 6 months for RCs to help me obtain the liver cat scan, i was not able to revisit my orthopedist to speak about medication to rebuild bone and physical therapy because my orthopedist Dr. Knesis was so upset about the incidental findings on the mri of my lumbar spine of something in my liver and kidney. my former RC Christina would take me to doctors appointments and Keith kept brushing aside my quoting Dr. Polam my PCP and orthopedists severe concerns the other RCs told me to ask Keith who gives run around answers knows pathetically little about me or my physical problems or my artwork he has been assistent supervisor for 2 years and before that at threshold should know about medication monitoring and how important it is and for client safety there needs to be a clear not an erratic scedule and close to 10 hours between morning and evening meds instead of 6 or 7 hours. 29 year old Robbie died suddenly a few months ago, client deaths should be investigated whatever their age but esp when a young man dies suddenly.

Keith misuses medication monitoring to text mail, for a year most of his time was spent on staring into his cellphone only less than one percent of the time was he texting about something to do with someone in the townhouse at Banquo instead of his job the 15 minutes provided for med monitoring is supposed to be to check on clients and see if there are any problems, in addition to his fascination with his cellphone, when I ask him a question about why client rights are not being upheld even with the simpliest thing like why there is no list of the new rcs after many have left and he said he did not want me to know his last name or brushes it away.

Although Howard, the CSA house inspector was supposed to be inspecting for HUD as well as Cornerstone, he did not look in the package of what is supposed to be HUD Rights and Responsibilities and HUD Grievance Policy I have asked Mr. Ellis numerous times to replace the HUD required information on the bulletin board as is required by law but he waves me away. When I tried to show him a brochure from Department of Aging about Elder Abuse and tried to get him to look at it the drawings of a family screaming at a senior citizen reminded me of the months long vicious verbal abuse of Betty Levi but he waved it away with disgust.

Betty had very visible physical problems, fell down the concrete steps taking out the trash and went to ER and had a black eye and it was bruised and swollen but they still continued to harrass and harrangue her about taking out the trash and other things this 67 year old woman was incapable of doing. After a particularly vicious harranging about Betty doing heavy duty housecleaning for inspection which her very swollen feet and very swollen right eye which had gone on for months, I would point it out and that Betty had gone ALONE to ER by ambulance 12 to 15 times in the 10 months she was here, I called adult protective services and within 2 days Betty was hospitalized with the assistence of Keith and Nurse Josephine Marshall which I had repeated requested contact information for myself and Betty after we both filled out a very intensive pages long questionnaire last April and were told by Mr. Ellis to gain cooperation that Cornerstone had contracted with this medical agency to monitor somatic health and to coordinate meds and testings to help psychiatrists and patients but no one ever contacted me again and Mr. Ellis repeated did insulting song and dance when I asked to be put in contact and he questioned why I wanted contact information for Nurse Marshall but still would not give me contact information until I called ADULT PROTECTIVE SERVICES.

Are providers listed using my name for funding and I am not receiving services. This is occuring on a number of levels and needs to be investigated by HUD and the Baltimore Department of Mental Health and the Board of Licensure.

When I signed the ITP on the computer for David the front page lists providers and Ms. Marshall was one of the names, she said she could not be a provider since she wasn't a doctor, I have been unable to find transportation to see Ms. Marshall for her to coordinate my somatic health AND THIS REQUEST SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON MY ITP. I would like the front page that has my name and list of providers before my ITP which was not shown to me when David requested I sign it and I would like the ITP that my RC Anna promised to squeeze in my somatic health issues. IT has been weeks.

There is an Ana and an Anna, according to Threshold Rights and Responsiblities clients have a right to know who is taking care of them. Keith just waves me away or does an insulting fast humorous routine or starts hounding me about an unrelated issue. This is not the behavior that either an Assistant Supervisor or now Supervisor should show to clients and the contempt for client rights and clients is because Susan Wilkoff has not handled any grievances for four years according to Comar Law or according to the St. Lukes/ Threshold/ Cornerstone Grievance Policy. David gave me a copy of the Grievance Policy with my name at the top but Keith waves me away at my repeated requests that a Cornerstone Grievance Policy and Rights and Responsiblities be posted on the house bulletin board. Why such contempt for the law meant to protect minimally client rights?

Anna, my RC with no last name, says she will call be back in a few minutes to get me information, then she doesn't I can't continue to hang around the phone in the kitchen and by the time I get up or downstairs the answering machine is on, why doesn't Anna leave a voicemail message for me.

Chicara said to Debbie that she was required to meet with her once a week, Anna stood me up once or says she is too busy or changes the time "since we didn't discuss meeting this week." another service that has been very erratic since Christina Taylor left.

You are just realizing Nikki Lak left, someone at the going away party when Arlene Gomez, previous Supervisor left in October 2014, one of the clients said he was glad that Bel Pre told us Arlene was going away since so many RCs have left and clients not notified, RCs who were leaving used to say good-bye to clients and give two weeks notice why are so many RCs and other employees leaving so quickly???? evidence based means screaming at clients not doing anything to help them.

Never forget the look on Jessica no last name when Keith was outside the door doing some clowning when I was sitting at the computer in the old office, she looked with dread then played around with Keith requiring RCs not to do a good job but to amuse him.

To avoid dealing with clients problems during med meetings, Keith parties, sings dances which would be okay if it wasn't so over the top and continuing and used to avoid doing the job that is supposed to be done during medication monitoring.

Keith said there was a new law that clients in group homes could not smoke out on the back deck because of fire hazard. Keith said he was just about to send around a letter about this new law. Let's see if he sends the letter, it should be an open letter if true and check and see if other Bel Pre clients have received this letter and see if it mentions just who made this law and when. I like the nature, deer out back will contact whoever made this so called law. I think it is because Debbie complained about my coughing and wanted to cause more trouble.

Debbie complimented Meghan saying that she was the only one who liked talking to clients the other RCs couldn't wait to get out of here. This is true. Saturday, Nov 28 as usual Ana was playing with her phone until I said has our visit started yet.

Keith spent a year dragging me downstairs for meds, for almost 2 years the med schedule has been very erratic and someone took down the schedule and never replaced it so unless you want to sit for 6 hours or so in the middle level and sometimes RCs don't even come, Keith for a year once I was downstairs would start playing with his cell phone for the whole session 95% of the time. I have not received the services charged for in many different areas Keith refused to give me the contact information for Nurse Josephine Marshall until I called Adult Protective Services partly for me and partly for Betty Levy who had been atrociously verbally abused for months by most of the RCs because she could not clean esp the deep "Spring cleaning" for Inspection, Betty 67 years old, went 12 to 15 times to ER for her very visible physical problems including very swollen feet she could not wear shoes and Shatara kept screaming at Betty to go buy some shoes though Betty could hardly walk, the last time Betty took a cab to go grocery shopping she was just wearing socks because her feet had been too swollen to walk any distance shatara and other RCs screamed at her that if she could go to the bathroom "She could do it."

Betty also had severe eye problems with one swollen eye that was constantly weeping and the RCs refused to accompany her to her doctors or to the on-call doctors saying she could do it although RCs have gone with me and my present ITP states that my RC will help me to communicate with my doctors as needed but Betty was even less articulate in a great deal of pain and often forgot what she was going to ask and finally stopped going to the doctors the RCs would not help her only scream

Betty fell down the outside concrete steps called an ambulance had a black eye and badly bruised forehead but the RCs would still scream at her to take down the trash down those same concrete steps with one step missing which the Inspector Howard has never noticed though everyone always trips over it the first few visits including cab drivers who help me up the stairs with groceries, I was told to call management myself when I repeated asked that something be done and was told that the outside of the townhouse was not Cornerstone/St. Luke's responsiblity

The cruelty that went on for months to Betty Levy was incredible a day or two after I finally called adult protective services Betty was checked into a hospital with the help of Nurse Marshall and Shatara and has been in the hospital or rehab for two and one half months and I believe would have died if I had not called, this was not simply neglect but actively abusing someone who was very, very ill and the record at Montgomery Hospital should show this.

Any gift clients patients have is considered to be raw material for keith for his career the way he was not interested and would not help with simple things like camera which would have meant so much not really human but only raw material for their careers this is comping from the top admin barrie and susan wilkoff decisions and training would like to see what the training consists of not listening skills for sure that makes so many decent young people with degrees in mental health become monsters after a few weeks and then worse after a few months it is not just the pressure but barrie and others ideology

If they training did not teach the rcs and supervisors and other staff to treat the clients patients they are supposed to be helping and supporting like animal trainers with a club and chair - have noticed the change that comes over rcs after a few weeks or months of training and it is horrible and smashes patients and costs more for them to go to fenton house or to become completely non-functional patients are esp vulnerable and patients die when you insult and berate and abuse them

When first moved to Maryland worked at NIH -- carpool with ron who was worked in the hospital occupational therapy said his whole department was in group therapy once a week.

Beth Vonieff housemate about 3 years ago and now at Adrienne House again

After calling Susan Wilkerson, leaving messages,4 times I was too discouraged to try again. The year before Barrie Friedman's letter after Grievance meeting in which we talked only of maintenance issues, extreme heat and lack of air conditioning which was a minor complaint I had thought it was a formal grievance and had pared down 36 pages of my grievance against the lack of help with Gerda's abusing me to 8 - Sweta requested I cut it down myself and though according to Grievance policy she or Susan wilkerson should have helped me with written grievance, Barrie's letter mentioned only the maintenance issue not gerda and stated if I wanted to make formal complaint contact Susan Wilkerson also for Comar Notes SUSAN WILKERSON (Wilkoff) HAS NEVER, EVER CALLED ME BACK and I had requested a formal Grievance meeting about gerda not primarily about maintenance but I was not allowed to speak, Sweta before meeting printed 8 pages from my flash drive don't remember if Barrie et al were given copy, nothing was done to give me relief or peggy relief from Gerda's over the top harrassment.


A year later want to complain about Beth's abuse, Susan Wilkerson according to Grievance Policy was supposed to help with that she would not call back.

------------

My main complaint is about Barrie Friedman and Melissa Jacob Clayton's criminal negligence don't want to sue, do want an investigation into their not doing important portions of their job endangering clients and neighbors. Peggy Wyss' formal complaint about Gerda's harrassment of her, her aunt that she spoke to about abuse Peggy very shy, her Aunt made sure that a representative from Dept. of Mental Health was at meeting, Caryn Zaner told Peggy that she, Peggy, would have to move, not the abuser Gerda, Gerda said "I get peggy's room" but also showed Gerda she could get away with doing anything to her housemates and nothing would be done to stop Gerda and Gerda had an enormous power problem and anger at her mother and sisters and used housemates as substitute scapegoats.
The only reason why peggy was not forced to move was DMH rep said SLH had to find peggy housing near enough to visit her mother in Kensington Nursing Home and her aunt in DC but for a year after every housemeeting Caryn Zaner would tell peggy she needed to continue preparing to move and Peggy suffered the insecurity of that. Peggy has friends at SLH Life Skills program and attends social night and last part of art group, peggy did not miss even one Social night for over a year and then only once because she was ill and attends other activities which she would not have been able to do if Peggy had been forced to move.

Laura was so upset when she learned SLH would not be getting her own apt but just dumping her in a room in the community, Laura died very soon after she was told this and was so upset when she would call me. Laura had been in SLH housing so long that the CSA inspector Howard called her the Queen of SLH, Laura was very pleased and said "Aw, I'm no queen." when she told me how pleased she was about Howard's comment.

/////////////////
Ask someone from NAMI to witness provider meeting - previous 2 provider and grievance meetings should have been recorded, unbelievable, Barrie as Queen of Sheba,
RCs should be logging everytime beth or in the past Gerda or any client who shows extreme carelessness around stove and oven leaving kitchen or even leaving house with oven on - when they are informed by other client about the danger to HUD, St. Luke's housing, clients and neighbors ATTENTION MUST BE PAID - why do all the RCs shrug it off as one time happening when informed of repeated dangerous behavior around fires - have they been instructed by Melissa Jacob Clayton not to care or to minimize real danger out of existence - MJ's job is to both know these things, investigate and take action to protect clients, houses, neighbors and program for independent living in the community. Halfway houses are looked down on with fear and maybe the knowledge that some supervisor don't care to do anything at all about the worst danger is known. Gerda chasing away neighbors with her screaming which echoed down the back corridor of trees, deck/porch in back, client screaming for months and years minimized by MJ when Dr. Parveen opened door where MJ and my then RC Amanda Tillman were meeting after RC meeting across hall, Dr. P told me to tell them as soon as the words were out of my month "It's a zoo, the second neighbors on the other side have moved out." MJ's knee-jerk reaction was "Just because the neighbors have moved out doesn't mean it is because of Gerda." I told Sweta when meeting on deck with Gerda screaming upstairs echoing outside that neighbors used to move out when my mother would scream like that and we would be asked to leave nice garden apartments. By the time I said this to MJ, all the RCs could hear Gerda screaming upstairs, for months, she refused to come down for medications and I would beg the RCs to do something and they would make some excuse and the screaming of Gerda and other terrible behavior went on with no one intervening, the reason for the 17 meetings per month is not just to get paid but to notice and intervene if something is radically wrong.

Why was nothing done about Gerda?


Never double checked with me about the lies Gerda told and Dr. P opened door to say I slept during the day and worked on my computer at night because Gerda screamed every hour she was awake at that time, Gerda had complained I slept all the time from the beginning, Gerda and Beth expect me to be a live-in housemother, if a client is not ready for independence and careless repeated around stove is one big clue they should be in an environment with 16 or 24 hour care, at least out patient hospitalization so don't harrass housemates and neighbors and maybe get some help.

Beth sweeping neighbor's deck, trespassing, said it was an eyesore, trespassing. Energy should have been spent on doing her chores in house not uninvited sweeping of neighbor's deck insulting them with eyesore remark when I told her she was trespassing and to please stop.

Beth's misuse of medication monitoring and housemeetings to nitpick about nothing beth needs to write down complaints so she isn't all over the map confusing everyone but attacking me and confusing and boring RCs so much beth is allowed to continue to attack me in front of an audience over nothing or for things she does herself she lies straightfaced and accuses me of dirtying dishes she has used and left with an inch of water and disgusting watered down mayo and salad dressing and pancake mix and clam chowder left to dry on top of dish, bowl or pan for days. After she threw away the house owned pot holder, Melissa Willard heard her tell Nicole that I had thrown it away. I thought since beth is known for throwing good things away, that someone would try to stop her but she continues.

Freda Lawrence game

Letting Beth beat up on me so she will feel better for a few minutes is not benefitting Beth who uses these destructive games to avoid finding something useful to do with her life even a hobby or since she is more of a people person, to visit Southport Life Skills, I exchanged laundry days with her from Tuesday to Wed when Beth briefly was going to an activity on Tuesday.

Chat with cab driver, cannot spend all my time caring for Beth being her 24/7 caretaker, scapegoat, companion, family substitute, second Dennis for a second extravagantly dysfunctional relationship. Tired of being treated like a doll that has no feelings, beth cares exclusively for herself, does not care when I try to back her off her abuse and harrassment by telling her how ill I am, or telling her in housemeeting that I am a human being too. Beth exploits everyone around her but esp. housemates who can't get away after 15 minutes or at most an hour for Beth's power needs. Two kinds of power the power to do something to create something and the power to dominate other people, despite Beth's babychild act, Beth's real artform, what she has dedicated her life too is creating incredible problems including making the smooth running of a house impossible. Constantly throwing a spanner in the works then laughing with delight at the problems she has caused.

Breaks everyone of the ten commandments every day Satan is only come to kill, and steal and destroy.

Bearing false witness, misusing medication monitoring to tell lies about me to use RCs as an audience to repeatedly win symbolic victories over her siblings and parents - like being in hell a hamster cage going around endlessly in circles beth is not the only one who has suffered severely in life though her only dedication in life is repeat dysfunctional family issues forever exploiting and destroying her housemates and sometimes RCs beth has declared war on the world despite her very skilled helpless act. Instead of moving beyond and trying to find something worthwhile to do with her life she piddle with art and other activities but is voracious in Troublemaking. RCs find her too skilled at diversionary and other tactics and so let her do what she wants even to risking her own life, her housemates lives and the lives of neighbors and independent living which most people call halfway houses because Melissa Jacob Clayton does not do her job.


Needs a whole team working with dedication to stop strong-willed trouble makers like beth and gerda, what is all the training of RCs for if they only say "That's just Gerda being Gerda." or that I have to be independent and confront Beth hourly BY MYSELF WITH NO SUPPORT FOR HER CONSTANT SKILLED HARRASSMENT OF HOUSEMATES AND DESTOYING SMOOTH RUNNING OF HOUSE BY HER THEIVING OF HOUSEHOLD SUPPLIES AND OTHER EXTENSIVE GAMES.

nEED TO KEEP A LOG AND rcS HOULD BE DOING THIS NOT ME ALONE OF bETH'S LEAVING STOVE OVEN ON AND abusive "Mother-in-Law" behoviour and other very destructive abuse and thefts and bearing false withness lies complicated lies about housemates like the office trouble maker if you want an example.
-------------

won't allow anymore of my time and life and talents and hard work to be wasted by someone who thinks it's cute to steal and lie and bear false witness, break all of the 10 commandments every day. I won't keep silent any more about Beth's provacations and carelessness or suicidal behavior in walking away from leaving the stove and oven on, even leaving the house with oven on. If someone cannot be trusted around a stove who has the judgement of a toddler it is not kind to her or responsible to housemates and neighbors to keep silent.

The more I or Dr. Parveen or Rcs ask beth to stop a destructive behavior the more she will do it - disgusting to see on the face of a 55 year old woman the smirks of a toddler who thinks it is being mischieviously naughty - the practical judgement of a toddler given free access to stove burners after repeatedly leaving them on and walking away.



not supposed to be a supervisor ordering people around but taking a real interest in my career not just your own.
----------------

how does it help beth or gerda to let them abuse housemates does it make them happier or more functional cheating them as well by not paying attention and doing job paid to do.


now is time to be buying oil for lamps this oil you can't steal read the parable redeeming the time for the days are evil work while it is light because the night cometh when no one can work.

trash and throw away everything God gives you, or people sacrifice to give you you know the worth, the value of nothing like a child hitting a doll on the counter other people are not real to beth the strange writing butting her relates everything to herself like an infant other people don't exist except insofar as beth can thinkof someway to exploit them however much pain she causes doesn't want the things she steals but only to cause pain difficulties to others power motive throws away things she steals

Jan 11 Beth came home after grocery shopping with Christina, Beth opened a can of green beans and a can of corn, put them in a pot and walked out of kitchen, when I went out for a cigarette I called to her, told her she had left the kitchen with the food heating on 4, asked where she was, called to her up the stairs, no answer, I turned off the burner Beth left on and went out for cigarette, she came down a few minutes after I came in from having cigarette, told Beth she had left burner on and shouldn't leave kitchen with something cooking, she didn't answer.

Bonnie witnessed when first moved in Beth came back from bus stop after she had left oven on low to defrost foil wrapped chicken, I had turned off oven because I was leaving house with Bonnie and knew beth had gone to bus stop but she left before I noticed oven was on. Bonnie was flabbergasted then and weeks later when she remember it but told Bonnie that Gerda had constant mishaps with stove and RCs said time after time that it was only an accident, one time occurrence that could happen to anyone. Ask fire dept if independent living homes have higher rate of fires - if can't be trusted around the stove/oven should not be in independent living beth and gerda risking their own lives, lives of housemates and neighbors. Ask NAMI their opinion and if they have knowledge of this negligance in other indepent living situations as well. need kitchen safety material videos, going outside on one floor only once a month testing fire alarm is not enough. Why don't RCs take note of how many times one client is seen, rescued from leaving oven/stove burners on after have left kitchen.


BV's attempts to making me feel unwelcome in my own home to the point of locking me out when go out for a cigarette. she knows I ALWAYS use the middle steel bar AND the steel pipe at the bottom of the sliding doors when I come in from smoking and had been talking to her a few minutes before she started barring the door so that I could not come back in my own house.

I have to bend down to place the steel pipe at the bottom of sliding doors and to get my food on the bottom shelf of refrigerator, and to sweep kitchen floor other than that I do not know what she means that I am always "Butting" people, as she wrote that I was always bending down showing my butt to people?

henpecking in kitchen about minor things

misusing medication meetings to try to pick fights about ridiculous things saying I called her a window washer which BV said is well know code word for prostitute, therefore, I called her a prostitute. I did not even call her a window washer, she said she had gone to Wendy's she inititated conversation I misheard and said "Oh, you washed the windows." thinking she would want to show me some extra chores she had done which I take the time to look at when she tells me what she has done and admire. BV really stretches to provoke fights over nothing which she is skilled at after 27 years of very dysfunctional relationship with her boyfriend Dennis. I do not want to be a second Dennis in her life to waste time on silly arguements then making up do not want to waste time on these useless dramas. Dennis should be enough of a drama making opportunity for BV.

STEALING IS BREAKING OF TRUST - THOU SHALT NOT STEAL nor take anything that is thy neighbors - Beth destroys my reputation as well and kills hope.

Rehabilitation Coordinators say their hands are tied in stopping Beth from stealing and abusing housemates, why is St. Luke's House Residential Program hand-tied from stopping a client who has caused anguish to her housemates for many, many years from doing anything at all. Stealing is against the law, if Beth had to face a prosecution for petty theft would she continue. Why does the supervisor of Peppertree/Bel Pre cluster have so few skills in dealing with problems that must come up in other SLH and THRESHOLD residences??

Do other St. Luke's House Cluster supervisors say their hands are tied when a client habitually interferes with the recovery or even being left in peace of other clients? Beth's utter lack of respect for the property or privacy of her housemates which so far has been mostly unchecked by the strangely impotent psychology majors who are given the title REHABILITATION COORDINATORS used to be COUNSELORS but when asked for a copy of their job description years ago, I was told I was not entitled to have a copy, perhaps the DMH and Congressman Van Hollen and the County Council are entitled to Melissa Jacob Clayton and Barrie Friedman's job descriptions and upon investigation and questioning clients whose complaints have been ignored whether or not the requirements of the jobs of BF and MJC are being even minimally met and the destruction of clients emotionally, physically and the talents they have developed wasted by allowing bullying and abuse and blockading of common areas to continue unchecked.


Beth nags almost constantly, not only makes mountain of molehill, most of the time creates the molehill as well.
Bonnie had never mentioned her mother-in law before but recently, when I told her Beth is like living with the MOTHER-IN-LAW FROM THE DEEPEST PIT OF HELL. Bonnie, who is 70 years old immediately went into the pain of what the archetypal mother-in-law abusing power causes - Bonnie said before her son was born her mother-in-law would call telling her how to raise him and that when her husband would leave for work, her mother-in-law would call and abuse and belittle Bonnie for hours who did not want to cause trouble with a new marriage and baby on the way but finally refused to take calls from her mother-in-law.

The next time we talked when I mentioned it, Bonnie started to talk about the pain of her mother-in-laws abuse, then was so upset after 50 years, said I can't talk about it and I said how would you have liked to live 24/7 with your mother-in-law in the same house and Bonnie said very seriously, "I don't think I would have made it." We were talking about my difficulty in doing any of my art except on the computer, Bonnie asked if I were having problems with my eyes as I did with the Sphenoidal Sinus Infection years ago and I said no but I am frozen in fear by what Beth will say or do to me next and always having to be on guard and come up with an instanteous response to her shoving toenail clippers in my eye when I am trying to concentrate on work, or incessant 8-12 talking with her boyfriend that she will not take upstairs because she wants to monopolize the kitchen and force me to be an audience to her and Dennis' fights, partying, kiss and make up hour after hour after hour day after day after day after week after month how can you convey this to another person who has not experienced it??

Not often mentioned but there was a Washington Post article saying not all women do this there are true victims who have not provoked their boyfriends or husbands - not to blame women for their own abuse but women are generally more articulate than men and nagging belittling and berating a man you are jeopardizing your physical safety and need to think about that and consider if what you get from nagging is worth the risk.

Why do (mostly) women nag? IT IS AN ACT OF EXTREME AGGRESSION out of unhappiness, women wanting their will to be done instead of considering others needs and trying to compromise and work at win/win situations, power urge satisfaction - reliving childhood issues - Beth may have been a victim in her family or from others but she is not my victim though I haven't until recently responded to her outrageous provocations, like the Gulf of Tonkin incident Beth pretends I am the aggressor and since she can tell a somewhat amusing tale or is more aggressive in demanding audiences for her lies the medication monitoring and up until recently housemeetings are a joke of an audience for Beth's sick dramas which all these psychology majors feed into maybe because it is easier and less time consuming and Beth and Gerda had immensely strong wills to get their own way and use everyone they can in their perpetual boring cycle of drama instead of doing something useful with their lives which is rarely encouraged by RCs but they eat up Beth's incessant dramatics.

All are true of Beth and what I have most marked is Beth's refusal to consider any solutions, partial solutions win/win situations because her CONSTANT ACTS OF EXTREME HOSTILITY AND NAGGING IS HER WHOLE LIFE - she doesn't want to be regimented, she hates schedules, or crying or getting huffy, or talking to herself angrily or stalking off into kitchen - so many useless dramas and the RCs allow her to do it and it is obvious that possible real solutions are not allowed by MJC in the gossip fests she calls team meetings and MJC's utter incompetence shows and destroys lives of clients. Until recently when I finally said and was very serious about writing grievance as best I could to Congressman Van Hollen and the County Council and McClatchy newspapers, MJC has shown no signs of wanting grow into her job but like Barrie just to order people around from Mt. Olympus where consulting the people affected so called clients wouldn't occur to her and if it did she would not consider any ideas from the plebs to be worth a minute of her time.

Nagging is an act of extreme aggression particularly if you live with someone 24/7 and can't get away and the nagging person is deliberately provoking tears of rage and has done it all her life - Beth's 50 some years of disgustingly immoral actions and then she hides behind an"I'm a helpless little baby." "I'm mentally ill, what do you expect." if you try to discuss it dispassionately with her how she is hurting you every day.

Dennis' extreme dependence did not come out of nowhere - Beth loves it when he finally acts out pushing a coffee table against her knees brusing them or the butcher knife Beth can gain an audience to feel sorry for her after provoking this response - see the way Yoko Ono destroyed John Lennon - how do I know? because I have experienced Beth's nagging, lies, vicious verbal attacks and dirty tricks and thefts and abuse and insults every day for a year and a half, some of it witnessed by medication monitoring REHABILITATION COORDINATORS who have the strangest responses to clear-cut abuse - when they first start have normal response then become stepford wives and Dr. Parveen and Paula Weiss and Megan have normal responses - need an investigator from DMH and NAMI to see if they agree with the hard but not impossible to verify decisions and actions and mostly INACTION by Melissa Jacob Clayon and her "team" of yes-women.

Beth punched holes in the wall I had put up against her evil provacations which took me so much energy to maintain that I could not do my art or even think wondering when and how Beth would attack me next. - Ask Kimberly and Waterside Cluster RCs and clients what Beth did to them in three weeks to provoke tears of rage.

No one to help stop this abuse, though Beth is known for stealing, she denies stealing my art supplies, purple jacket, drinking glass, etc. etc and i just have to take the lose, since despite Beth's long history of stealing and throwing away mostly food items, since I shared my food with her she knew she could only hurt me by taking other things, esp. art supplies that i am currently working with, come back and they are gone, Beth denies it and so it goes on and on and on. Christina said we could go through the trash next time my art supplies go missing, haven't felt like clawing through the trash for the two missing medium size cooking pots.

I could expect more help, concern and interest from a stranger I stopped on the street than the 50 odd medication meetings - if the stranger walked away refusing to listen it would be no different from what these REHABILITATION COORDINATORS HAVE DONE TO ME LEAVING ME HOLDING THE 50 YEAR OLD SPOILED BRAT BABY WHEN SHE ISN'T PLAYING THE MOTHER-IN-LAW FROM HELL.

AFTER WATERSIDE CLUSTER DUMPED THE FOUNDLING BACK ON MY FRONT PORCH WERE NOT ABOUT TO LET MELISSA JACOB CLAYTON DUMP HER PROBLEM CHILD ON THEM AND DESTROY THE CHANCES OF CLIENTS INTERESTED IN WORKING ON RECOVER OR CAUSING RCS TO QUIT FROM Beth'S SKILLED ABUSE - CHRISTINA, IN ONE OF MJC'S DISASTEROUS DECISIONS IN HER TEAM MEETING, THROUGH CHRISTINA, MJC TOLD ME BEL PRE CLIENTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE INDEPENDENT SO IT WAS INCUMBENT ON ME TO TALK TO Beth AND WORK OUT PROBLEMS.

THIS IS SO OUTRAGEOUS I WILL DIRECT THE MENTAL HEALTH INVESTIGATOR TO WATERSIDE CLUSTER RC SUPERVISOR TO FIND OUT WHAT Beth DID TO CAUSE TEARS OF RAGE AND UNANNOUNCED AND UNCEREMONIOUS DUMPING OF Beth BACK ON OUR DOORSTEP WITH THE RC WHO DELIVERED Beth BACK TO LOOK AS FURIOUS AS ANYONE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE AND I AM SUPPOSED TO DEAL WITH Beth ALONE??

I HAVE BEEN ALL ALONG BUT THIS WAS MJC'S RESPONSE IN HER USUAL PASS-THE-BUCK STYLE - mjc could consult with experienced therapists like Paula instead of going with any hare-brained idea that occurrs to her and causes endless anguish and permanent damage to the people she is supposed to be and getting a supervisor's salary to help not hurt by her unfathomable decisions and mostly inaction.

SINCE THE PEPPERTREE/BEL PRE SUPERVISOR AND HER MANAGER BELIEVE IN A WEIRD FAVORITISM AND WILL DO NOTHING TO PROTECT CLIENTS FROM SEVERE EMOTIONAL ABUSE, IN ORDER TO STOP Beth VONIEFF FROM CONTINUING TO DESTROY ME AS A PERSON MUST GO TO MY CONGRESSMAN AND THE COUNTY COUNCIL AND ASK THEM TO OVERSEE A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION BY THE DEPT. OF MENTAL HEALTH INTO HOW MANY PEOPLE MJC AND BF HAVE ALLOWED TO BE DESTROYED BY NOT DOING GRIEVANCE MEETINGS TO HEAD OFF THE ABUSE BECOMING PHYSICAL AND LOOK INTO SUSAN WILKOFF REFUSING TO DO HER JOB BY NOT CALLING BACK FOR 3 YEARS REQUESTS IN HER PERVIEW FOR COMAR NOTES, ADDENDUMS TO GROSSLY FAULTY TREATMENT PLANS THAT ARE REALLY CHARACTER ASSASSINATIONS AND REFUSAL TO HELP CLIENTS WORD GRIEVANCES AS WAS REQUIRED BY THE PREVIOUS ST. LUKE'S HOUSE GRIEVANCE POLICY WHICH IS A JOKE AND A LIE - MS. WILCOFF IS NOT REQUIRED TO HELP CLIENTS UNDER THE THRESHOLD UNITED GRIEVANCE POLICY SO I GUESS MS WILCOFF GETS A FREE PASS FROM ALL THE SUFFERING SHE CAUSED BY STEADFASTLY REFUSING TO DO THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF HER JOB.

CHEATING CLIENTS, THE FUNDERS INCLUDING THE GOVERNMENT AND MENTAL HEALTH IN GENERAL BY ALLOWING CLIENTS LIKE Gerda TO SCREAM THE NEIGHBORHOOD DOWN AND CLIENTS WITH SKILLS THEY HAVE DEVELOPED OVER YEARS TO BE TERRORIZED AND ABUSED EMOTIONALLY BY AGGRESSIVE CLIENTS LIKE Gerda SEJOUR AND Beth VONIEFF - MOSTLY BF AND MJC TURN THEIR HEAD FROM THE ABUSE AND REQUIRE THEIR REHABILITATION COORDINATORS TO DO THE SAME. WOULD GET MORE CONCERN FROM A STRANGER I STOPPED IN THE STREET THAT FROM THE TWICE DAILY MEDICATION MONITORING VISITS BY RCS who don't care and give off the wall answers to the grossest most dangerous kind of abuse and carelessness.

mjc apparently sees clients as pit bulls or fighting cock and puts us in the ring to let darwinism take place - and wants the rcs to see us as non-human too and yet responsible for our fate with no help from people being paid to make sure one client is not bullying, threatening or blocking common access area of privately and government funded housing - no sense of fairness - no sense at all, people rcs who wasted time and money on training in psychology which they are not allowed to use or else all that training left them clueless in the face of Gerda and Beth's sibling rivalry acts which cause such immense damage which these psychology majors are apparently too DENSE TO SEE OR INTIMIDATED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT. At least MJC doesn't have the Rehabilitation Coordinators put metal spurs on like they do fighting cock.

nicole said when she left that the new threshold people had been on the job less than a year "FRESH MEAT FOR YOU ALL." are the last word Nicole Hester spoke to me before leaving - Beth and Gerda have been the aggressors 100% of the time

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor

which is not talking about a single lie but a group of lies to weave a web or set a snare for innocent human beings in an important and usually legal context - i have only occasionally tried to point out Beth and Gerda's aggression and have rarely responded to provocations which both Beth and Gerda complained as "ignoring" them because i would walk away from their insults about my butt among other things and they were trying to get the parent figure rcs to force me into shouting dysfunction games/relationship why do not psychology majors know this and refuse to feed into the time-wasting emotion-wasting talent-wasting money-wasting games - mjc must rule with an iron hand because she does not solicit or accept any ideas that might help ameliorate these situations ideas from her yes-women and clients but comes up with weird ass ideas and forces rcs to implement them AND THEY ARE AN ENDLESS DISASTER DESTROYING CLIENTS INCLUDING AGRESSOR CLIENTS LIKE Beth VONIEFF AND Gerda SEJOUR BY LETTING THEM RUN WILD IN THE WORST SIDE OF THEIR NATURE INSTEAD OF THE MORE TIME CONSUMING EFFORTS TO GET THEM TO DO SOMETHING MORE WITH THEIR DAYS THAN STALK AND LIE AND SET SNARES FOR HOUSEMATES WHOM THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN A FREE HAND TO ABUSE AND WIN ENDLESS SYMBOLIC VICTORIES OVER THEIR MORE FAVORED CHILD AND THEREFORE SUCCESSFUL SIBLINGS - thereby destroying clients who want to recover and contribute something positive. MJC and BF have been in dereliction of duty for a long time, most important part of their job, client safety and neighbors safety they have "no time for" CLIENTS IN IMMEDIATE DANGER BECAUSE OF hundreds of clients but if some clients are in immediate danger from one client with voices threatening another client and spraying lysol in food they NEED TO MAKE TIME.

There are experienced managers and supervisors from the layoffs at Threshold and other places who could step into Melissa Jacob Clayton and Barrie Friedman's jobs who could may find the time to put together and effective team to head off some of these problems and who would MAKE THE TIME IF A CLIENT IS BEING THREATENED BY ANOTHER CLIENT WITH A HISTORY OF VERBALLY ABUSING OTHER CLIENTS WHO HAS BEEN SCREAMING FOR MONTHS DURING MEDICATION MONITORING AND WHO WROTE ABOUT HER VIOLENCE IN A STORY CALLED "SISTERS" WHICH Gerda TRIED TO GET EVERYONE TO READ AND PROOF-READ FOR HER AND WHICH WAS A CRY FOR HELP. CARYN ZANER AND MEGAN STARTED PROOFING IT UNTIL IT GOT INCOHERENT IN THE SANDRA STALKING OF UNCLE VINCENT - Gerda TOLD ME SHE WAS SANDRA AND NO ONE WOULD LISTEN WHEN I BEGGED THE VISITING MEDICATION MONITORING REHABILITATION COORDINATORS TO HELP Gerda WHEN SHE WAS SCREAMING UPSTAIRS FOR MONTHS AND REFUSING TO COME DOWN.

Gerda used to tell me how she acted when she got really sick, as she was screaming upstairs tried to tell the RCs but they ignored me or cut me off when I tried to tell them so Gerda continued stalking me all over the house, and yelling and cursing outside the door to the basement where I was trying to get away from her screaming and stomping all over the house in her boot or thick, heavy hard plastic clogs.

CARYN ZANER, RC, SAID after she quit and was too bitter to stay the second week Caryn said she might stay, JUST BEFORE SHE LEFT WITH Gerda SCREAMING UPSTAIRS the whole time, that she had some friends who always complained that a housemate would spend a half hour in the bathroom every morning and sound like Felix Unger of the Odd Couple, honking and clearing his sinuses, once she crashed with them and was awoken by this man making the noises her friends said and she indicated Gerda upstairs screaming at the top of her lungs and said for a short time it is nothing but if I had to listen to it all day long that would be different.

I used to think the REHABILITATION COORDINATORS only had to listen to Gerda screaming at the top of her lungs to her imaginary voices for 15 minutes while Peggy and I AND THE NEIGHBORS had to listen to it for hour after hour - day after day. Why didn't anyone do anything to help Gerda and the rest of us? MJC runs her cluster like a very dysfunctional family and whatever her motivation for doing these strange things enough can be investigated and verified. The clients at St. Luke's Threshold United deserve much better than this malign neglect and a few disasterous decision in the few cases MJC is proactive in dealing with problems that her job description must include but she neglects to the suffering of the people she is being paid to serve.

Melissa Willard asked why I didn't call 911 and a few times I almost did but Gerda may have come down, been charming, then after the police left started screaming again like she used to do in charming RCs during med meetings but the minute the door shut started talking to herself and gearing up for screaming. Don't know why the neighbors never called 911, they voted with their feet and left. Some of the looks given me by the neighbors on the right from the time I moved in, never even said Hello, they must have thought I was the one doing the screaming but when I was outside having a cigarette Gerda would be screaming sound carrying out the back-facing bedroom and echoing down the corridor of trees and fence.

MJC starving Beth by HAVING THE RCs illegally confiscating Beth's.r SNAP card would not have happened if MJC had a coherent plan with all members of HER TEAM working in concert to stop the abuse of one client by another instead of THAT IS JUST Gerda BEING Gerda as if mjc believed Gerda's claims to be Jehovah God and therefore beyond house rules, SLH rules OR ANY RULES OF HUMAN DECENCY FOR YEARS, FOR YEARS MS. JACOB COULD HAVE FOUND TIME THERE WAS A BUILD UP EVEN BEFORE I CAME TO Gerda'S DESPAIR AT TRYING TO KILL HOUSEMATES HER WRITING her short novel SISTERS WHICH PAULA HAD DOWNLOADED MY WRITING ON Gerda'S SISTERS NOVEL BUT MJC HAD SNIDELY MARGINALIZED PAULA WEISS, WHO CARES ABOUT CLIENTS AND THAT WAS APPARENT WHEN MJC PUT BLOCKADES FOR A YEAR AGAINST MY SEEING OR TALKING TO WHAT WAS THEN THE TEAM THERAPIST.

What Gossips Do.

D.H. Lawrence lost a lot of friends including wealthy, influential friends by using them as characters in his novels and giving them very negative characteristics. Someone wrote that DHL had a trick of being able to capture in words the outward aspect of his acquaintances, their gestures, appearance and putting "an ectoplasm of his own creation." in this outward description of them. In WOMEN IN LOVE, he gave the character Ursala, based on his then new wife, Frieda, all her good characteristics - to her delight and scattered her bad characteristics among the other female characters.

This is what gossips do. Why was I criticized in Melissa Jacob Clayton's Peppertree "TEAM" meetings for never going to Southport when I at that time went more often than Gerda who hardly ever went but Gerda's not going to Life Skills was ignored?
