How Exploitation Occurs
Financial matters are complicated, even for people in the prime of their lives and with all their mental faculties intact. Elderly nursing home residents are particularly vulnerable to financial exploitation both because of the challenges many older Americans face when dealing with complex problems and because they’re quite vulnerable to the people who might be exploiting them.
Nursing home residents are often isolated from their family members and depend upon staff members for their daily needs. This is a recipe for exploitation.
Specific forms of financial exploitation in a nursing home include:
This is the money your loved one has earned over a lifetime of hard work. For those charged with protecting residents, stealing this money is loathsome and unacceptable.
We cannot guarantee you and your loved one a specific result in a financial exploitation case. But we can seek compensation for the stolen funds and vigorously pursue justice and accountability.
If your loved one lives or lived in a Chicago, Illinois-area nursing home and was financially exploited while in that facility, please call the Sklare Law Group today at 312-759-1616 for a free consultation.
