Any way you are able I've been trying to get out for over ten years. This is very difficult to describe communicatively in this manner. I don't belong in a facility. I do not have any applicable issues that require me to be here other than to maintain the silence a criminal mind that keeps me here requires. Keeping me blind, and forcing me to lose my "Independent Living" status is the Facility Administrator's goal to take away my rights to administer my own medications, use my own doctors, not allow anyone else to touch me or bathe, dress me. Enter my home, or go through my things without my permission. He has given every caregiver a passkey to every apartment in this facility. They're breaking my closet doors while I'm in my bathroom, etc

Hi

As far as I can see, there is no form or email address to report a concern, but reports can be made to the telephone numbers at:
