When former librarian Nora Harris was diag- nosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease in 2009, she and her husband hired an attorney to create an advance directive, a legal document used to guide medical care in case someone becomes inca- pacitated. Harris’ advance directive speciically addressed “tube” or intra- venous feeding. She is now unable to communicate, and a judge says the facility must help her eat. Her husband says the state is ignoring his wife’s wishes, the Mail Tribune reported. He went to court after he found out Fern Gardens, a memory care facility designed for patients with Alzheimer’s, had been spoon-feeding his wife. Jackson County Circuit Judge Patricia Crain said she could not order the nursing home to stop spoon-feeding Nora because the state ombudsman’s ofice said not helping her eat would violate state law. An attorney who represented the ofice noted that Oregon law does not allow guardians to give directions to withhold food — only artiicial nutrition and hydration. “It’s not a happy decision for me,” Crain told Bill Harris and his daughter during a court hearing. “From what you describe of your wife and your mom, she would hate this.” Bill Harris lost July 13 but declined to challenge the judge’s decision. Harris doesn’t think his wife will live the 18 months to three years the court battle could take. Oregon was the irst U.S. state to allow doctors to help terminally ill patients end their lives. But people with dementia or Alzhei- mer’s disease are ineligible to request medication to G O O D BRIEFLY Judge awards Hanford whistleblowers $216,000 SEATTLE (AP) — A judge has awarded two whistleblowers at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation more than $216,000, plus legal fees, after inding that the contractor they worked for retaliated against them for raising safety concerns. Kirtley Clem and Matthew Spencer were working as computer professionals at Hanford’s medical clinic in 2012 when their employer, Computer Sciences Corporation, was launching a new software system for medical records. In a decision released Monday, a n administrative law judge with the U.S. Labor Department found that managers brushed aside their concerns that the new software system could put workers at risk.

Eric Foster, an attorney appointed by the court to represent Nora Harris, said in court documents that the advanced directive did not explicitly say she did not want help eating. “The best evidence of whether Mrs. Harris should be provided with food assis- tance is her current desire to eat,” Foster wrote. “Mrs. Harris could consistently refuse to eat, if that was her desire. If she refuses meals in the future, Fern Gardens will not pressure her to eat.” Bill Harris and his attorney contend Nora Harris is not choosing to eat but simply responding relexively to a spoon held to her mouth. Fred Steele, agency director of the state ombudsman’s ofice, said the mission is to make sure people in long-term care are treated with respect and their rights are protected. “The advance directive form only speaks to artiicial nutrition,” he says. “This case is not dealing with artiicial nutrition and that’s the complication.” Nora Harris has been in Fern Gardens since 2013. Twice since then she has been placed in hospice care after her weight fell. Her family believed the end was near each time. “It’s frustrating and heartbreaking that she has this horrible disease and her wishes have not been respected,” her daughter Anne Harris said. “It makes you sad that this is how the end of her life is going to go.” Corrections The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors.
