Father and daughter Julie Glass and Jack Crow canvassed Norman on Thursday, posting fliers calling for information about injuries sustained by Carol Crow, 60, a former patient at Whispering Pines Nursing Center.

The Norman Police Department is investigating the family’s allegations that Jack Crow’s wife was abused while under the care of Whispering Pines.

Her family took matters into their own hands with the fliers that advertise a $2,500 reward for specific information about what caused the injuries that sent Carol Crow to the hospital in July.

The flier displayed a photograph of Crow with bruises on her face and chest.

Crow was admitted to the emergency room July 11 at Norman Regional Hospital, where Glass said she was told by doctors that her mother suffered from a “typical fall,” but Glass believes her mother was neglected at Whispering Pines.

“I think they know some details,” Glass said. “They know something happened.”

Whispering Pines released a statement Thursday in response to the allegations.

“Whispering Pines is dedicated to providing quality care to our residents. When any allegations of wrongdoings are made, Whispering Pines always contacts the state to investigate,” the press release said.

The Department of Human Services investigated the incident and no indications of abuse, neglect or exploitation were found, Janine McCullough, program manager of the Department of Human Services, said in a letter to Jack Crow. The letter also said investigators will not file a case against the center.

Norman Police Captain Leonard Judy said there is an investigation of the incident underway, but the department’s leads have not revealed any substantial information. The case is still open.

Glass and her father, however, are convinced something went wrong.

“The first time I came here, I couldn’t find a soul who worked here,” Glass said. She said that in June, on one of her first visits to her mother’s room in Whispering Pines, she found her alone, wearing only a robe in a room where she had urinated on herself and the floor.

After the incident that sent Crow to the hospital, Glass said a nurse at Whispering Pines suggested she have a rape test performed on her mother. The test came back negative.

Another nurse warned Glass not to bring her mother back to the center.

“She had tears in her eyes and told me, ‘Don’t bring her back here,’” Glass said.

Crow suffers from the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, and Glass said she received little information from the center than a report that her mother fell and had to be sent to the emergency room.

Wes Bledsoe, founder of A Perfect Cause, is helping Glass and Crow find information that could lead to an arrest. A Perfect Cause is an Oklahoma City-based advocacy group for victims of nursing home abuse and neglect, according to the flier.

“[DHS] is supposed to open a case,” Bledsoe said. “What does someone have to look like to open a case?”

But Whispering Pines remains adamant that they did not harm Crow.

“The allegations Mr. Bledsoe is referring to are unfounded [and] have been fully investigated with no finding of fault against Whispering Pines,” the statement said. “We are currently working hard to offset the harm which Mr. Bledsoe’s inflammatory and untrue statements have caused our residents and their families.”

Capt. Judy said the police are still investigating. Anyone who has any information about the incident can call the Norman Police Department at 321-1600.
