Signs of Financial Exploitation in a Nursing Home

Written by Malman Law, reviewed by Steve J. Malman.

Elderly persons who are cared for by a nursing home sometimes are found to be financially taken advantage of. The elderly is most vulnerable when they are entirely dependent on someone else for their everyday needs. When financial exploitation occurs, both the resident and the family end up feeling violated and taken advantage of by those that they put their trust in. If you feel that you or a loved one have been financially exploited, it is important that you know this is a violation against elderly rights. Do not feel ashamed of such abuse, as there are people on your side and laws that protect the elderly from abuse. An Illinois elderly abuse attorney can help to determine your case through a case evaluation.
