## Resource

Hospice provider Endless Journey in Nebraska is under fire after serious misconduct uncovered by the Attorney General’s office, including narcotics from deceased patients being stored in unlocked cabinets and staff allegedly diverting meds to other patients while falsifying records. Owner Melanie Costlow, a registered nurse with unreported misdemeanor convictions, also moved medications across cities and allowed unlicensed staff to sign off on records. Both Costlow and former executive director Nicole Beck face 90-day license suspensions, ethics training, and a $10,000 civil penalty — a stark warning about accountability in end-of-life care.
