Assisted Living Abuse
When you are looking for an assisted living facility for yourself or for a loved one, you will first meet with a salesperson who will usually describe the facility as a heaven-like safe, loving, home with plenty of activities, delicious food, and an excellent caregiver/resident ratio. Then reality strikes. You or your loved one suffered from abuse and/or neglect. Signs of elder abuse may include malnutrition and dehydration, bruises, cuts, broken bones, falls, sexual assault, and unsanitary conditions.
Most assisted living facilities are owned by corporations that have one bottom-line: money. Fees might increase almost exponentially, without reason. Possibly, you are being pressured by the Executive Director to put your loved one in memory care so that the facility can charge you thousands of dollars more than what you are paying in the assisted living area. You know that your loved one should not be moved to the memory care floor in the facility, but you are confused and frightened because the Executive Director is threatening an eviction if you don’t move your loved one. You might fear that the Executive Director will literally throw your family member on the street – without warning. Peggy Collen will do everything to protect and defend you or your family member’s dignity, safety, and finances.
