Unresponsive resident left to die?

listen there is way much more to the story then the buildings. like the backround knowlegde about the craziest man there.

I completely agree with closing down this horriable place, i personally work with 4 ladies that within the last 4 months have left Rosewood and are in a residential agency. They have grew up in Rosewood and you can tell, they have animalistic behaviors and if you even put your hand near them to fix their hair or clothing they flinch because at sometime in their life they have been abused. One of the ladies you help her put her night clothes on and tell her to get in bed she goes to her room and undresses herself and lays on the bed and spreads her legs, that is what she associates with bed time. Do you think Rosewood is so great now? I think it is horriable. And everyone that treats these people like this should burn.

All of the articles that I have read contain information about mildly retarded patients being placed in group homes and doing well. what about the severly retarded patients like my brother who have been there since there teens. My brother suffers with grand mal epilepsy and a disease where his intake of fluids must be monitored at all times. He can't speak, so he wouldn't be able to tell anyone if something was wrong with him. He is very unstable on his feet and must wear a helmet at all times because he bangs his head against walls. He must receive his medication daily but he doesn't comprehend what his medicine is. How come we haven't heard any reports of how good this move is for these patients?

This article has set off the B.S. detector here at the BSPD. It lacks facts to support it's statements. Was Jaime Malarkey in the hallway to see that the man was rocking, in the corner, and that the hallway was dim? Does she really know why "Mike" was looking out of the window "grunting"? Does she know if "Mike" doesn't just do this because he likes looking outside, etc.? Was it she who saw a third man rushing, mumbling, and "visibly frazzled"? It's all subjective but presented as fact. "Razor blades"? Plural now? The 50 previous articles written about Rosewood's problems only mention 1 razor blade found on the ground (months ago). Did Jaime Malarkey herself recently find another one? The general public can drive or walk through Rosewood at any time. People litter there just like they do in the community. That's reality. The negative events listed in this article are not presented on a timeline. They may have taken place over the last 2 years or 30 years. ***BSPD seal of disapprov

What a coincidence -- Rosewood is on prime property, and O'Malley is going to close it, and release its residents to group homes -- no responsiblity for the state anymore, and a big fat tract of land to develop. Good for him, bad for the community.

This article is a hatchet job. Rosewood provides excellent care for adults who fact profound physical and mental problems.

Did anyone ever ask how Mike Taylor was treated and cared for when he was at Rosewood, or how his life was saved when he was so out of control??? If he had not gone to Rosewood .he would not be here today!!!

Maryland has neglected Rosewood for years. Now it's going to close the place and flood the streets of Baltimore County with the criminally insane. Where is O'Malley going to put these people?

His attorney is looking for a law suit for all involved.

Sounds like Annapolis!
