Raji spent several weeks in the USA trying to get one look at her mother, and was ignored by the guardian, while Harborview always responded with a simple one liner “we are aware she has a guardian”. After all her efforts failed, she filed a Habeas Corpus petition with Federal Court, which is also still ongoing. Please see Exhibit 24 below to see the full list of filings in that case. Raji left USA in tears not knowing when or if she would ever be able to see her mother again, traumatized and in tears at her bitter experience. She had come all the way from across the globe only for the purpose to spend time with her sick mom, but was denied.
Family’s attorney Paul Barrera tried to make contact with Omana at Harborview to ascertain her condition, and accompanied Jay as can be seen from his detailed declaration with 8 exhibits. (the VAPO does not have any visitation restrictions, with the only restriction being that he cannot remove her from any facility). However both he and Jay were kicked out by Harborview Security under the instructions from the Office of Risk Management and the guardian. After Mr. Barrera was forced to turn into a witness from this event, Jay was forced to hire another attorney Mr. Dan Young, who also tried to get updates on Omana by trying to visit her at Harborview. He was also thrown out, as can be seen from his detailed declaration.
Attorney Young also brought a petition to terminate the guardianship (after the “abandonment” case from Issaquah Municipal Court was dismissed), a petition for Vulnerable adult protection order against the guardian, and a petition for preliminary injunction, which were all denied by Commissioner Velategui. Please see transcript of the hearing. Subsequently, a motion for revision was filed, which was also denied by Judge McHale. Please see transcript of that hearing. Judge McHale also allowed $132,000 in “attorney fees” to Guardian’s attorney Ermin Ciric, which included nearly $30,000 in attorney fees that he had sought for representing Ms. Copeland in the ongoing Federal Case, although it had already been denied earlier by Honorable U.S. Federal Judge Marsha Pechman. The other $100,000+ is apparently for representing the guardian for defending the petitions to terminate and for VAPO, for attending two short hearings.
On 12/17/2019, Jay received an email from a paralegal Ms. Rebecca Jenkins at Mr. Ciric’s lawfirm, stating that a new VAPO had been taken out against him [see reference D in Exhibit 27 below], which petrified him as he had never received any service. He looked up the case information online and saw there was one Return of Service filed by one Maggie Xitco [Reference F] that states that on December 2, she was unable to complete service as she could not find Jay at his home in Elliston Way. However, on the petition filed on November 27, Mr. Ciric argues that personal service was already completed on Nair, which is clearly a lie made under penalty of perjury by his own submission.
Furthermore, he has filed another Return of Service, just the evening before the hearing on the 17th, which is signed by one Linda Baker, who claims that she made the service on Mr. Nair on 12/13/2019 at 11:42 am, at his residence at 11031 Elliston Way NE. Most ludicrously, she has sent an email to Ms. Jenkins (see the email attachment to the Return of Service) on December 4th 2019, that she had completed service on Jay on the 13th!!!!
Unless Ms. Baker has invented a time machine, how is it possible that she could send an email on December 4th to Ms. Jenkins confirming that she has completed the service on December 13th? This is open fraud on the court, making a complete mockery of the King County Superior Court.
Furthermore, Jay had not been anywhere near his home on either the 3rd or the 13th, as testified by the housemate at the home that he had actually been staying during this period. In addition, he was also able to obtain the Google Timeline of his smartphone, which shows he had not budged an edge on either of these days from the other address. Therefore Ms. Baker, Ms. Jenkins and Mr. Ciric have clearly perjured themselves. Based on these facts, he has brought a motion to amend the Federal Case (along with 14 references) to add Ms. Baker , Mr. Ciric and his lawfirm Regeimbal, McDonald & Young PLLC to the list of defendants on that matter, for abuse of process and perjury.
On new years’ eve, Jay received another email from Ms. Jenkins that stated that Omana was in critical condition at Harborview, after a respiratory failure after the guardian moved her to another facility (promptly after obtaining a surreptitious, backdoor VAPO) named Queen Anne Health Center on December 20th. Within 7 days she suffered serious complications at this new facility and has now been admitted to ICU at Harborview, sedated and intubated. She is willing to allow Family members to see her through Skype, but will not let Jay even see one last look of his dying mother through a phone screen. If this is not the very quintessential definition of satanic, fiendish evil and height of malevolence, then what can possibly be?
The yelp reviews of this facility, another state-owned free shelter, states as follows:
From Anthony S.: “exactly what all the negative reviewers have been saying, but I bet they didn’t have their loved ones there for 5 days for them to be sent back to the hospital dude to lack of care to then Pass away days later!.. Be afraid of this place…. This place…. is a sad EXCUSE for a Healthcare home! If I could, Id have this place CLOSED! I’m fulling convinced the lack of care at this place Killed my father. As why would someone from one of the best hospitals in the area, be released to these THIEVES and then need to be returned to the Hospital couple days later to then pass. “
From Steven B: ” My mom was here for two weeks and the neglect was astounding. On three separate occasions (one witnessed) nurses bumped my mom’s ankle where she had an open wound. Nurses also failed to properly dress my mom’s wound. She ended up getting pneumonia and no nurses or doctors took the step of testing her without my urging. I also repeatedly asked nurses not to wake my mom up at 8am as she wasn’t getting any sleep; they ignored my wishes on two occasions. The place is dingy, dirty and dilapidated with residents screaming and moaning at all hours “
From Oral S.: ” I have never been so shocked and disappointed at the outcome of my mother’s stay at this facility. She was fooled into signing power of attorney for them to control her finances promising to pay her rent at her residence while she rehabbed…then when I encouraged her to go home to check her place they petitioned and got a no contact order against me. When she arrived at her home there was an eviction notice on the door and since she had never seen such a document with her name on it, she returned to the facility in fear of homeless. By some sick twisted coincidences she died during the night shift on the same day her finds had been totally depleted. It was not until 7 days of her passing that I discovered her death. Enough time for the staff to claim all of our lifetime possessions in her residence and storage facility while I was in San Diego getting her an apartment. Do not trust a word these people say and if they are there now I advise you to get them out asap or they will be trapped and euthanized eventually. “
From Kathleen F.: “Lost medication, running out of medication, running out of incontinence underwear, losing laundry, no set schedule for physical therapy, some staff snotty, over an hour to answer a patient’s light, stolen property. That’s just some of it.”
From Don K: ” If you are considering placing a family member, significant other or even someone you loathe, please please reconsider. The staff is constantly changing, poorly trained and, in many cases, unable to understand basic English. The ratio of patient to patient aide runs between 8-11 to which, taking into account breaks and shift change downtime, allows approximately 4 minutes per hour of patient care. “
Reading through these reviews, and seeing that Omana had been stable in Harborview until the 20th of December, it is obvious what has transpired: after fraudulently taking a second VAPO against Jay without service and deceiving the Court, these monsters immediately transferred her to another substandard ghetto shelter where she was neglected for a week, as was the experience of the loved ones of the reviewers who have shared their experiences above. Combined with the stress of solitary confinement and anxiety of not knowing what happened to her children who has stopped visiting her abruptly six months ago, this has caused her current sudden regression and ICU admission.
