WORD ON THE STREET
We're getting reports that CORNERSTONE MENTAL HEALTH, an agency that is supposed to be helping the mentally ill homeless, looses heart when it comes to those who should not be outpatients because they cannot supervise daily medications. They take in homeless, and they put them back out.
Cornerstone is paying Los Angeles Family Housing to house a few dozen of their out patients and there is no psychiatric nurse or staff to supervise. When the patient gets off their medication or their medication is not properly prescribed and they go crazy on the property, the security guards and staff at Los Angeles Family Housing are not trained to deal.
Some of these mentally ill homeless people are thrown out of LAFH and CORNERSTONE! It's a punishment because they cannot comply with taking drugs prescribed for them. Ah, are they mentally ill or aren't they?
We hope that CORNERSTONE MENTAL HEALTH and places like it, who like to bill the county and the state medical programs or a patient's own insurance, will ask themselves why they are in the HOMELESS BUSINESS?
UPDATE: Thanks Lucy for telling us that this post was not visible. WE ALSO HAVE AN UPDATE: WE'VE BEEN HEARING A LOT OF COMPLAINS ABOUT CORNERSTONE so we plan to post a new one soon about this place.
