The news was able to obtain the cause of death for the three patients who died at Mishawaka. There was no massive shock with the patient who committed suicide. The questions remain on the bed checks. One of my sources advised me that the PES on duty didn’t know that the patient was on suicide watch. The first death was ruled due to the toxic effects of a combination of medications of Buprenorphine and Gabapentin. Buprenorphine is FDA-approved for acute pain, chronic pain, and opioid dependence. Gabapentin is in a class of drugs called anticonvulsants. Gabapentin treats seizures by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain. Landmark prescribed these medications. The third death was ruled to be caused by chronic alcohol use disorder. Mishawaka was severely understaffed. We also don’t know how long the patients were at Landmark.
Matty Boil did state that Landmark was going to pursue getting its licenses reinstated. This seems futile as they still won’t have Medicaid and Blue Cross/ Blue Shield contracts. These facilities were already placed on a corrective plan in March. Landmark failed to make the necessary corrections, and conditions got worse. I’d like to know if Landmark has continued to pay rent for the three facilities. They can’t pay rent where they have patients; why would they pay rent for closed facilities?
Matty just sent out an email celebrating the coroner’s findings. He encouraged employees to share the links on social media. He also cautioned them not to be negative about the Sheriff’s Department and the State. Matt must have forgotten he was the first to bash the Sherrif and the State with his We Are War company-wide email. I haven’t. Excellent job sending out another tone-deaf email while being laid off left and right.
It figures that Misty Hogan would share the news on LinkedIn while kissing Justin Hartman’s butt. Her post is more tone-deaf than Matty’s. She is happy that people are dead and that Landmark didn’t kill them. Let’s see how this plays out with the CCTV postage and the patient charts. If Landmark thinks they are coming out unscathed, they have another coming.
Update October 26. Misty Hogan deleted her LinkedIn profile yesterday.
Update October 30. MIsty Hogan reactivated her LinkedIn Profile, but the above post was removed.

The fact that they had to announce that publicly gives me really nasty feelings. Not only that but in the same breath speaking on opening back the facility’s. I am sure their family’s really appreciated that. Hopefully that one comment alone allows many people to make a better decision when it comes to finding a treatment facility.
