Donna Beck Henkel
I want to report an abusive situation at Michael House, the memory care unit of Mother of Perpetual Help in St. Louis. On 7/11/25, my aunt fell due to a broken femur. It is unclear exactly when the break occurred, but the surgeon believes it was around 7/9/25. The nurse, Pamela Wisnewski, filed an incident report stating: "Staff was nearby, reported resident was witnessed ambulating, started shaking, threw herself on the floor. No apparent injuries."As POA, I was not alerted. Instead, my brother was called and told there was no injury. He went to the facility the next day and noted my aunt's leg was turned at a 45-degree angle, and she had a large hematoma on her hip. He had her sent to the hospital, where it was determined she had broken her femur at the neck.When I called that day to get more information for the hospital about the incident, another Michael House nurse, Vidya Boodram, stated, "I have other patients to deal with. I have another job besides this one, and I am tired. I'll have to call you back another time." When no call came, I called her supervisor, Ms. Wisnewski. She claimed that my aunt had "thrown herself on the ground" several times that week. Yet, we were never told, and no one investigated why she was falling. It fits with her femur being broken and not being able to put weight on that leg.A couple of days later, Ms. Wisnewski called to ask how my aunt was doing. I told her she had to have hip replacement surgery. She acted surprised and said, "Well, at least she lived through the surgery!"This is clearly inattention to a critical medical situation. My aunt fell to the ground because she couldn't stand with a broken femur. No one bothered to notice her leg being at an unnatural 45-degree angle or the large protrusion at her hip. The incredible lack of empathy exhibited by Ms. Boodram and, subsequently, by Ms. Wisnewski is appalling for a medical professional dealing with the elderly.What do you like most about living here?

What government services provide money for senior housing?
Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:
- Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
- Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
- Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
- Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
- State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
- Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
- Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.
How do you pick the homes you recommend?
Before recommending homes, we conduct a thorough evaluation on crucial factors that define a senior home such as the quality of care they provide, the reputation of the organization, and a comprehensive review of community testimonials as well. Every detail is assessed to assure that seniors are offered not just senior care options, but trustworthy homes where they can experience the care that they deserve.
Do you help families that need Medicaid?
Yes. Assisting families who need Medicaid is important to us as it plays a crucial role in offering financial support to seniors confronting economic challenges. We would like to keep essential healthcare services accessible to all community members, irrespective of one’s financial circumstances.

We extend our services at no cost, ensuring that families and seniors can benefit from tailored assistance in their search for care and home options.
