Fred Patten had a brain stem stroke on March 12, 2005, which left his right hand/arm and right leg paralyzed and impaired his sense of pain on that side. He did not have medical insurance. Now that he is past 70, he is on Medicare and Medical.
Fred spent a month at Daniel Freeman Marina Hospital in Marina Del Rey and six weeks at Rancho Los Amigos in Downey before finally being transferred to Golden State Colonial Convalescent Hospital. He was at Golden State until May 2010, when he was transferred to the San Fernando Post Acute Hospital where he is today.
