Nursing home residents and vulnerable elderly adults are at risk of various types of abuse, including financial abuse. Nursing home operators and staff members have extensive access to the personal and financial information of those under their care. Additionally, in-home caregivers and family members can also perpetrate financial fraud. At JML Law, we are here to help if you need a Los Angeles elder abuse attorney. If you believe that your loved one has been financially abused in a nursing home or other setting, let us investigate the incident so we can secure the compensation you and your loved one are entitled to.
The financial abuse of the elderly is incredibly common, but also hard to detect. As a person ages, it is not uncommon for them to allow somebody else to handle their finances for them. In fact, it may be necessary for somebody else to handle an elderly person’s finances, particularly when the elderly person experiences a decrease in their mental faculties.
Unfortunately, elder financial abuse happens in a variety of ways. This type of abuse can occur in a nursing home setting or in an in-home care setting. Caregivers, whether nursing home employees, in-home care staff, or family members, typically have significant access to a person’s financial and personal information. This can lead to a variety of types of fraud.
At JML Law, our Los Angeles elder abuse attorneys have helped clients and family members who have experienced the following types of elder financial abuse:

According to the National Council on aging, elder financial abuse and fraud costs citizens of this country anywhere from $2.9 billion to $36.5 billion each year. Like other forms of elder abuse, financial elder abuse is vastly underreported.
If you suspect that your elderly loved one is being financially abused by another individual, you may need to take your case to law enforcement immediately.
