When Nursing Homes Mishandle Or Steal Money Or Valuables
When you see indications that a nursing home in New Orleans has been impeding your loved one’s freedom to make personal financial decisions, you really should act immediately.
Under Louisiana’s Nursing Home Residents’ Bill of Rights, those under the care of a nursing home facility retain the right to manage their own financial affairs, and a nursing home may only be authorized to make decisions for funds held in trust by the home for the resident.
That said, nursing homes and their staff have significant power to exert influence and even coerce residents into decisions that may not be in the resident’s best interest.
Protecting our elderly loved ones from abuse, neglect, and exploitation in their golden years is a paramount concern not only for family members, but for our aging society in general.
