Notice of Deposition

California Code of Civil Procedure states the following:

A notice of deposition must be served at least ten (10) days before the deposition unless the notice is served by mail in which case it must be served at least fifteen (15) days before the deposition.  If production of consumer or employment records is being requested the notice must be served at least twenty (20) days before the deposition unless the notice is served by mail in which case it must be served at least twenty-five (25) days before the deposition.

Can you believe that a "litigation attorney" would attempt to take a deposition and fail to give the appropriate notice?

Angels

"To see an angel, you must see another's soul.
To feel an angel, you must touch another's heart.
To hear an angel you must listen to both."

Senior Pro Services

Elizabeth Adler wrote the following "testimonial" for Senior Pro Services...

"...Time and attention you and your staff devote to finding the right person to meet the client's needs and preferences... you understood my concerns and followed my instructions... you made suggestions that added to the care plan which ultimately benefitted my client... quality and training your caregivers surpasses most agencies..."

Senior Pro Services provided the 24 hour caregivers who were hired to stay with my Grandmother.  Senior Pro Services refused to provide documentation regarding the caregivers qualifications, work status, documentation, certifications, etc.


The Conservator's Handbook published by the California Superior Court states the following:

"If you hire an aide directly through an agency, be sure to check references."

"If you hire an aide through an agency, make sure the agency screens, bonds, and insures its employees."

Elizabeth Adler didn't even prepare an inventory for my Grandmother's estate.  I'm sure she exercised the same sub-standard level of professionalism regarding the qualifications of the caregivers!

Tunnell Center

Prior to moving my Grandmother to Laurel Heights Convalescent Hospital, Herb Thomas made the decision to place her at Tunnell Center in San Francisco.  Please click on the following link and take a look at the deficiencies discovered by the State of California.

Keep in mind that Herb Thomas placed her at this "hospital" after doctors at UCSF recommended in home care!  Also, keep in mind that Herb Thomas NEVER notified the court of this move.....in direct violation of California Probate Law...
