Dora Cinciruk: Locked away unlawfully against her will

Home > Dependent Adult Abuse > Dora Cinciruk: Locked away unlawfully against her will

Dora was an independent tax paying citizen, always paid her utilities, was never involved in criminal activities, loved her home, enjoyed planting a large garden. Last October, she injured her foot.

In November, 2009, she entered the U of A Hospital, never again allowed to return to her home. While at the hospital for treatment, a doctor gave her a capacity test which she failed. She didn’t understand why these questions were asked. She is illiterate of the English language and her spoken English is in simple words. No interpreter was present. Some weeks later she was assessed again by another doctor who also gave her a failing grade. She was diagnosed with irreversible dementia and taken to Norwood and placed in a locked unit. She is illiterate and yet managed to function well in society.

She was never served any documents, which according to law, she should have been. On one occasion when she and her son went to the nursing desk to request the documents that were keeping her there, security was called.. Security was on hand when 80 lb Dora was moved from the U of A Hospital to the Norwood.

“How can the government allow this to be done to me? I worked hard all my life and was not a burden to anyone. I did not steal, cheat or murder anyone. I paid all my debts. I was a good citizen.”

She is now confined to a hovel at the Norwood Care Center, a space 6’1/2 ‘ by 11’, and that’s a generous estimation. She cannot retain a lawyer because she has no access to her carefully saved dollars. A pro-bono lawyer is attempting to help her to extricate herself from this mess.

She does her laundry in the sink in a bathroom that she shares with four people. She hangs her clothes over the bedrail to dry.

She is not allowed to attend Mass. She is detained like a maximum security prisoner.

RE: Elder Abuse of Eudokia (Dora) Cinciruk
7111 79 St Edmonton, AB T6C 2N4

ATTN: Gerry-Lee Canning

Please note as per discussion with you over the phone, my mother Eudokia (Dora) Cinciruk went to a hospital to have plastic surgery done.

Before the operation my mother gave to Anne Wegner the following items to keep for her while she was having surgery : her keys, bank book and other papers and $1000.00 cash. After surgery my mother asked for the items back but was refused by Anne Wegner. When questioned by me about the items she lied and said she did not have anything Also Gared Wegner was asked if he had the house keys and said he did not yet the invoice for the waste bin. Before I was told about the meeting I met a social worker who said she was a friend of my sister Anne and had dealt with my mother; would be asking for another social worker to replace her due to a conflict of interest the replacement was Gab V in the burn unit.

I was called for a family meeting at the hospital. While at this meeting my brother and sisters made all kinds of falsehoods and exaggerations about me and my mother. My Brother said my mother was delusional and should be locked up in a ward with no way out. He also made all kinds of other unfounded statements that I was a crook : I do not have a criminal record and ran an electrical contracting business for approximately 20 years before I became physically disabled from three car accidents.

My niece said that my mother was starving and that they would bring her food : which was not the least bit true; my mother had food stored in the kitchen, living room basement cold room and another area of the basement on top of that she went shopping on a regular basis: they took and threw all her food out and this is evidenced by the bin invoice and with pictures taken and by me opening up the garbage bags. They had also made some statements about being in my mothers house and taking all her cash she kept in the house. this was before the certificate of incompetency was signed by Dr. Craig Bucholtz on December 07 and no trustee or guardian was appointed by court where they said my mother was mentally incompetent and required 24 hr care.

This was a shock to me and I did not know what was going on. At this meeting with my brothers and sisters and there children the doctor said my mother was incompetent. however when I wanted to find out more information about this nobody returned any of my calls .However after talking with my mom on a daily basis and visiting her I and others two Catholic priests Father Tarsenko 780 —— and Prisila Edwards (UA Hospital catholic Priest ——) came to the conclusion that there was nothing wrong with my mother – she just needs someone to assist her with her housework.

I want Anne Wegner & Gared Wegner and the others charged with theft and any other breach of the law which they can be charged. My mother wants me to be the contact person in this matter and I can be reached at 780 ——- and my email is —@gmail.com. Please email me back to confirm that you have received this email-thanks in advance.
