Seniors can be targets of schemes, abuse and neglect such as:
- Financial abuse/exploitation, including wasting or stealing assets
- Undue influence by family or caregivers regarding their estate plan
- Unnecessary guardianships
- Victimization/identity theft by scammers online, over the phone or in person
- Failure to provide adequate daily care, when necessary
- Emotional/psychological abuse
If your loved one lives in a nursing home or other long-term care facility, they may be victims of:
- Deliberate abuse or neglect by staff or residents
- Physical abuse, emotional abuse or sexual abuse
- Bedsores and physical injuries
- Malnutrition and dehydration
- Failure to administer medications correctly and on time
Whether by family members, facility staff or criminals, elder abuse is unacceptable. With our help, you can take action to stop the abuse and, when applicable, hold the responsible party liable for the damage they have done. Our compassionate elder law lawyers can investigate the matter and work to recover assets and return them to the person’s estate or pursue compensation from nursing homes that let abuse and neglect happen.
