since the aricept was started several weeks ago she went into congestive heart failure ,and was hospitalized ,released on hospice care and told she was gonna die,that her heart was worn out,and its the nursing homes fault she is 70 yrs old

Aricept is given as a treatment for Alzheimer鈥檚. It's not something that would be given by the nursing home unless her doctor ordered it. What has her doctor told you about the cause of her heart failure?

You cannot blame the nursing home for causing your mother to go into congestive heart failure. Your mother has heart problems from the strain she put on her heart over her COPD.
Your mothers heart is worn out because she has difficulty breathing. Its all connected.
Aricept is for dementia and has nothing to do with her heart failure.
Sorry for your mothers ill health and I wish you the best.
