Pennsylvania’s Department of Health is cracking down after a shocking report last year that elder abuse throughout the state’s thousands of nursing homes goes largely unnoticed and unpunished.
A nursing home worker employed by Elm Terrace Gardens in Lansdale, PA appears to have stolen personal checks and credit cards from an elderly resident once that resident passed away.
According to a new report, the average New Jersey nursing home has about six deficiencies, ranging from food preparation to fire exits without proper signage and lighting to physical abuse.
Because of our aging population, the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) fully expects financial exploitation of elderly investors to become increasingly common over the next few decades.
