illinois state hospital--A FUCKING JOKE!!!

So my grandmother is in the state psych ward
she's been there for almost 2 1/2 months
been in and out of various hospital psych wards for about 6 months
any way since she got to the state facillity she's lost almost 40 lbs
not because she's on a propper diet
she got an infection and can't wear her dentures
so she can't eat normal food because she can't chew
what are they offering her to eat????
pop-tarts, pizza, hamburgers, and chicken
NOT easy things to eat like soup
they aren't giving her any medications becuase she won't take them
I know she has the right to refuse but she also thinks that
they are going to give her a pill that will make her turn into a demon
that's not someone who is in the right mind to make her own decisions
I went to visit her and was blown away
she doesn't even look like my grandma
she hasn't been sleeping or eating
they haven't given her clean clothes or let her shower
in at least a week
the hospital claims they can't make her do anything
BULLSHIT!!!
I've been in the psych ward before
and I know what its like
my poor grandpa is driving to the hospital almost everyday
and its a 3 hour drive for him to get there
and my grandma won't even see him because she thinks its a trick
we can't get her out of the hospital because they say she's not well enough
but they aren't doing anything to make her any better
i'm so fucking pissed at this entire joke of a system
the doctors don't give a rats ass what happens
they get paid either way
the nurses are complete bitches
and the director says whatever it takes to get you off his back

when i was there for voluntarily for wanting to kill myself
they gave me medications and a 4 page pamplet about depression
what a fucking miracle cure that is
now for my grandma they stick her in a room with a tv
so she doesn't cause any problems
i'm so fucking pissed i dont know what to do
