    I was the ***** of ******** for a resident of Vitality Living (VL). Her name was ***************************** and she passed away at Vitality on December 11, 2022. When she passed away, I was in contact with VL to get a final statement and was told that there was an overcharge, and a refund of $800 would be forwarded to her next of kin, her brother, ***************************. I was told by the then Executive Director, ***********************, that it would take 6-8 weeks to come from their ** in ********* **, As of today, there has been no contact made to her brother, nor was the refund sent. I called the Facility on ******* Road 13 times (I have the complete call log with dates and length of calls), and I called their ** 5 times. Each time I called, I was told either nobody was available, or they would get back to me. The last call to VL on ******* was March 9th and the new Executive Director said she would get back to me by that Friday, and it's a week later and no call, The final call was made to the ** yesterday, March 30th, and I had to leave another message for help and told them I would be reporting them if I didn't get a call back yesterday. No call again.I want a full accounting of ********************************* account and I want the $800 to be sent to ***************************, PO Box 93, **********, ** *****. Shame on VL for keeping this elderly man waiting for closure of this issue and his dear sister, *******, so she can rest in peace.Thank you for your help.*********************** (on behalf of *************************** (who is 93 years old)

    I have not received a response regarding this matter. If there isn't a satisfactory reponse in the next few days, I will seek further counsel. I hope you will respond so that I don't have to continue to reach a resolution.

    Thank you,
