I went to his home, and was attacked by his So called POA,, wife and brother with a gun, beating me, telling me they were going to kill me like they did my dad, they killed my family!! And will kill me, when they catch me

They shot and killed my 17 yr old son and covered it up as suicide in Livingston parish Louisiana, with all along with all my possessions being stolen and the sheriff said,that the evidence that I have was probably contaminated. They all got away with murder, crime, human trafficking, stealing peoples properties, bank account, Inheritances

I'm 71, a retired NYCDOE English teacher. I'm divorced, the grandparent of six children ages 6 to 14. I've lived in my rent-stabilized 90 y/o building in Northern Manhattan for over twenty years. I'm very friendly with my neighbors, many of whom are also long-term tenants.

I'm active in my church, Fort Washington Collegiate Church, a welcoming and diverse congregation. I'm an usher; I volunteer for the church's food pantry, as well as on other projects.

Heretofore, I'd never reported a neighbor to management or to an outside agency. In September of 2021, a new tenant moved in above me, a professional woman working from home. Immediately, there was noise above me unlike the noises (of daily living) I'd become accustomed to for over two decades.

I've been in treatment of PTSD for decades (childhood and marital abuse). I've reported my neighbor's harassment to my building super, to the building's management company, to my adult children, to my primary caregiver, to my therapist, and finally, to my NYPD precinct (34th).

I never expected, nor have experienced this kind of harassment. I don't own a TV. I have rugs on all my floors. I sometimes play classical music on my radio at a very low volume.

I've learned how hard it is to be taken seriously regarding psychological abuse and harassment. Elder abuse is complex and varied. The most vulnerable among us suffer the most. Nonetheless, having experienced development and and marital abuse, I'm determined to end this abuse. I'm about ready to hire a lawyer and to bring charges against this person.

If it's easy to psychologically and physically harass (with loud, aggressive, unpredictable noise) an active independent senior, there is so much going on with more vulnerable. Only a very small percentage of elder abuse is reported. Most of it is perpetrated by family and caregivers.

Nonetheless, there are perpetrators of elder abuse who are strangers. That would be the case with me. I don't know anything about my neighbor. She works from home and has a new boyfriend. The boyfriend has assisted in/enabled her abuse. They've cooperated in stomping, and in dropping hard objects on their floor.

All of feels even more abusive because there is never a warning, the abuse is random, and seems designed to cause the greatest physical, emotional, and psychological damage.

Since this is continuing, despite reports and narratives, I need to take steps beyond police reports. I need greater protection and more serious consequences for person's psychological and emotional abuse.

As it's not resolved, I believe my story is about continuing the legal process, wherever that leads, to stop this abuse and harassment.

I was a victim of elder abuse 4 years ago. My son and his girlfriend were homeless and pregnant. He came to me in my Hud housing and told me this. I felt sorry and guilty for having a place like I did. They could not stay with me there, so they found a house to rent. Everything was peachy until we were in the house and I was paying. Then they told me to stay away from their refrigerator and their food. See, I paid the rent and they were supposed to provide food to share expenses. I had to call APS to help me. I moved out and the police were called by my son's borderline gf because I had some things on the curb I was not taking I was throwing away. Long story short, the movers took the stuff I couldn't and the officer was kind and advised me to never go back to live there. I should never have believed my son and his gf. They have since had the child, and custody is temporarily to her sister. Again, they came to me and asked me for help. Seeing my grandson and son suffering is a powerful way to override my common sense. They asked me at first and I was caring for my grandson but my son was taking him during the day and not bringing him back until late at night. I told CPS that I could no longer do this. They placed him safely with her sister. Now, they rented an apartment next to me, are both on crack, act eradically and ignore me or make side remarks in the hallway. I am a 65 year old with PTSD living next to them, My abusers. The police advised me to put an order of protection in and they will be out. They know this and are quiet but I am on tenterhooks waiting for the next outburst of behavior. His gf has borderline personality disorder. I will put the order in it starts up again. So me, as a disabled RN have to know that my son is taking crack next door and I can't do a thing about it. A horrible way to spend my son called golden years. If they don't pay rent they will be evicted and peace will reign again. Until then life is depressing for me watching this. But I have faith and friends to keep me going. Elder abuse is real, drugs are an element in it. That's my story.

Don't help children who are living a drug life no matter what is happening. Take care of your money and yourself because you will be used for your income and treated like trash. Let them sink or swim. That sounds harsh but it is today's reality. A person on SSD is a breathing ATM and not much else. This is the hidden collateral damage of drug users.

Elders actually have very little protection and APS showing up changed things for me. If not I would have starved and paying their way too. I also had emotional abuse but I guess that is obvious.

I want a peaceful quiet life free from guilt from my son for his mistakes and life choices. I hope I told my story well enough for you to understand it.

Contact by email with PTSD I cannot do media and am afraid of stirring up trouble with them next door.

After the sudden death of my father in March 2018, my mother returned from Pennsylvania back to her primary residence in Florida. My parents also owned property in Ocean City NJ, where they resided during the summer months. Upon returning to Florida my mother redid her will and estate, as well as adding both myself and sister to both her bank accounts. Both my sister and I reside in Pennsylvania. During early 2020, she was experiencing depression and anxiety but insisted she was OK and wanted to remain in Florida. We spoke every day. She was seeing doctors in Florida and working on different medications. Shortly after the covid 19 pandemic occured my mother called me and said she was in Ocean City NJ. She told me that my sister and brother in law went down unexpectedly as a surprise to bring her up to her NJ home. A few months later she was upset that her electric bill was over 500 dollars and she told me she was calling the electric company. As my sister and her family were at the shore those months I told her that was probably the reason. She didn't want to say anything. My mother was scheduled to see a neurologist in late August. Earlier in August, my mother told me that my sister made a room for her at her house. She believed this was to make it easier for my sister to take her to the upcoming doctor appointment. I went over to see her and her room. I thought it was good for her to be around people rather than alone in Florida or New Jersey. It was the middle of covid and the only person wearing a mask was my mother in her room. When my nephew arrived he did not have a mask. Neither did my niece. My mother told me that she just stayed in her room and always wore her mask. We were both a little concerned but again she didn't want to say anything. Due to covid I was told that I could not attend the appointment only one person was allowed to go. She called me after and said the neurologist wanted some testing done, which was scheduled for late August. Although I asked my sister to please keep me informed, she did not. Most of my information was given to me by my mom. It was difficult visiting her with covid so we mostly talked on the phone all the time. After she had the testing the neurologists provided a 19 page written report, which they also went over in depth with my sister present. My mother told my sister to email me a copy of the report. She called me after the appointment and was a little upset because she couldn't drive anymore. Her diagnosis was dimentia. The report noted multiple things, one being at risk for both benevolent exploitation as well as by others. Her cognitive abilities were very impaired and she needed help in decision making. Several suggestions were made, including that she was not to be alone. It was suggested that a home care person be hired. I was told that they had it covered. However, it was evident that every time I spoke to her she was alone. My mom did not want me to say anything. Shortly after, my mom called me and said she just got back from the hospital. She fell down the steps and broke her ankle, she had to call 911 as again no one was there. She now had to have physical therapy. Then in November of 2020 she called me from the shore and said that my sister had covid so my niece took her to the shore. It was just a matter of time. I have no idea what they were doing with her at this point. I think they took her to a testing site and she was now positive also as well as my sisters husband and daughter. In December, my mother called me upset that her eyes itched and she didn't have an eye doctor in PA. Again, no one was there. I told her I would call her back and called my eye doctor's office who scheduled a tele appointment for later that day. She called me after the appointment and thanked me she really liked the doctor and he said it was common for covid to spread to the eyes. A couple days later I asked her how the drops were working and she said she didn't have them yet. I couldn't beleive it. No one was there. I told her I would go get them and leave on the step but she seemed afraid and told me no she thought someone was picking them up that day. She never wanted me to say anything. I now know why. In March 2021, she told me she was going to a new doctor in Springfield because she didn't have a family doctor here in PA. She called me after the doctor and told me her blood work was good and the doctor also gave her xanax. Knowing that medication was not recommended and specifically mentioned in the 19 page report of August 2020, I was starting to get concerned. We had plans in May if covid was less restrictive to spend some time at the shore together for my birthday. Prior to my birthday my mom asked if we could reschedule the shore but wanted me to come over on my birthday. I went to see her on May 14, 2021 that afternoon. We sat outside talking and I noticed at times she had a blank stare. Something seemed wrong. My sister came home and they were in a rush to go to the shore. My mom said things were not going well and she had 2 doctors appointment the following Monday and Tuesday. I asked her if I could take her and she said she would really like that. I hugged her and left. This was a Friday. I called her Sunday at about 10 PM, hoping it wasn't too late. She said no she was still up. Something didn't seem right and I wanted to make sure she was OK. When I asked her if I could take her to the doctor I could hear my neice in the background saying "tell her you have a ride". She told me I could take her to the next one.
Later that week she called and mentioned that my sister and brother in law were talking about buying her Florida house so she could help me. I didn't need any help and I told her I did not think it was a good idea right now. After being hung up on several times all of a sudden my calls went straight to her voicemail without ringing. My sister had her at the shore. This continued for several days and then I learned that my number was blocked from her phone. Being unable to contact her I became pretty upset. My sister then used the police to keep me from seeing her at her home and I was told that I would have to go through the court system because my sister said something to them about on going problems. Although I told the officier I was being kept from my mother who had dementia by my sister. Unsure what to do, several attorneys said that it was imperitive to contact COSA, the local agency in my area. I was a little hesitant because I didn't want to hurt my mom. I thought to myself no one can keep a person from their mom this is crazy. Then I received a notice in the mail that a PFA was denied. I couldn't believe it. Unsure of what was going on I thought I better let her attorney know in an effort to protect her estate from anything happening so I emailed the attorney informing him of her condition and mention of selling her house in which I was a 50% beneficiary. He replied asking me the names and then told me he couldn't speak to me as I was not his client. Then my phone which was on a family plan with my mom was cancelled. They had access to my phone, my mother's phone, her emails, her properties which locks were changed, and continued to isolate my mother from all communication with me. I was able to get my number back from AT T on June 18, 2021 at which time I decided to stop at both of my mothers banks to see if any changes were made. One bank told me I didn't exist and could not tell me anything else. The second bank told me that all my access was changed and I was not even authorized to make a balance inquiry, but was still on the account. He further said that if he were me he would run to a lawyer. I could not believe this was happening. At this point I did contact COSA, which was supposed to be confidential. I was told an investigation including bank accounts would be done. Then all of a sudden police were storming up my house because a call was made saying I was going to commit suicide. I told them what was going on and again was ignored. This was the first false police report. The day the investigator went to the home, the police again were called with lies about texting threats of killing myself to my mother. No such texts exist. All the while being told this is a civil matter. My friend thought I better go to the District Attorney's office so he drove me up there. The woman there was a disgrace to say the least. It was to much effort for her to write anything down let alone listen to what was happening. It was very deeming and unfriendly and this was supposed to be the person in charge of the so called "elder exploitation unit". What a sad experience. I received multiple nasty messages from my mothers phone as if it was her now accusing me of multiple criminal things and threats to file charges. I continued to receive threats from a relative in Wisconsin, which my lawyer was able to find out who the number belonged to. I noticed on facebook that every family relative disappeared, cousins I haven't talked to in years. Although, I went to the police about the false reports no one could do anything about it. What is scary is that they could actually use my sick mother to say or do anything. After following up with COSA I became very uncomfortable and hired an attorney. Til this day, my phone receives non stop messages from unknow numbers, email texts with explicite content, and all types of things. My mom was my best friend and only family I had left. When I texted my sister asking why her bank accounts were changed, they actually had her call me then took the phone and started screaming oh my god your stealing moms money. I knew now that this was real and my mother was being lied to. The worst part is nobody could help her or me. Then unsure where they had her I called to have a wellness check done. The police officier told me she was OK but never even saw her. Can you imagine. This is a person's loved one and my mother was not there she was in Florida with my sister. Knowing something didn't seem right the next day I called both New Jersey and Florida and Florida was able to confirm that she was at the Florida residence with my sisters family. That week in Florida, my sister took her to the attorney. She was actually the one who drove her there flew her there having full knowledge of the 19 page neurology report and being present at all doctors appointments knowing my mother's disease progressed, while isolating her from her other daughter, and provided a note with one sentence from a different doctor and changed everything on my mother's estate to herself and added her husband to my mothers financial power of attorney. She was now 100% beneficiary of my mothers home in Florida. She didn't stop there though. My father's pension beneficiaries were changed to her children and I was removed from my mom's 401k making my sister 100% of excess of 40,000 dollars. These changes all were made via email communications from my mother's email, which my sister had control of. It did not stop after Florida. I still am not sure about my parent's property in Ocean City. Sadly, as of today and my many attempts for justice my mother still resides with the very abusers who did this. I was attacked for contacting COSA, which I thought was confidential and treated like a criminal throughout the entire court proceeding. Every effort taken failed. No one did anything to help my mom or myself. In fact, doctors wrote letters saying that my mother said I was stealing her money. How pathetic is that. Of course, they will all be reported. Dispite the fact that a second doctor confirmed everything from the original August 2020 report my mother continues to be a victim and remains residing with the very people who did this. My mom continues to be isolated from her daughter knowing the damage caused by such isolation. She continues to be told lies about me so she will say "she doesn't want to see me" despite her progressive dimentia. So when I hear about how all this progress has been made and new task forces focusing on exploiting an elder, it makes me sick. I was forced to testify that I called COSA, which again is CONFIDENTIAL. Their own doctor who wrote a paragraph in his report of what my sister said defaming me with lies and then added his own opinion stating I sounded drunk on a phone message she played for him. This was during an evaluation in which this same doctor said my mom was fine but yet she didn't pass a single test. This is the very agency who is supposed to help my mom. My mother continues to be isolated from me. May of this year will now be 2 years. Evil does not describe what has happened. This is beyond sick and unthinkable. No amount of money can ever give me the time lost with my mother.

EVERYTHING

Be careful trust no one

How it is that a person can be prevented from seeing a parent, and for no reason at all be denied any information regarding their parent's health is unconstitutional. I would like to know how that can happen. A child should not have to pay attorney's to see their parent who they had a healthy loving relationship with. The second a person can not reach their parent something should be done immediately by law enforcement. I am sorry to say that Pennsylvania has failed my mother and myself and I live with emptiness and sadness and will probably never see my mom again. I want everyone to know what has happened to me and my mom and how every effort I took failed. I want answers myself as to how this can happen. I am not sure what my hopes are other than people who do this belong in jail. Not in civil court. There has to be a remedy of prison. I will continue to fight for my mother's justice. I want people to know the truth. Not a single agency helped. NOT ONE!!!!!! Please tell me who I can contact for help. Can congress help? Who? I would like to know.

Help me tell my story

I was watching a program the other day about Harvey Wienstien, listening to the women talk about the pain, hurt, humiliatiin they lived with in silence until they got justice. I will never really know thier pain, but i do certainly know what it is like trying to go on living with the unbearable pain of extreme injustice tearing you apart inside, having walked into a hospital with my most beautiful precious beloved mom with nothing anywhere near life-threatening wrong with her at all, only to see her be gruesomely killed by a doctors most blatant gross severe neglect, malpractice that there ever could be. And as if that isn't bad enough, the soul-wrenching betrayal of Livanta/CMS/HHS/AARP twisting a thousand hot irons in your heart, using thier full power and influence to deny, disguise, do anything they can to cover-up for and protect my moms killer from accountability, aa if they have no conscience, no heart at all, and either don't recognize, or just don't care, that even if they have the power and connections to get away with it on paper, nothing in this world, nothing that they do, goes unseen by The One who nothing is hidden from, who knows all truth about everything. It truly baffles and confounds my mind to think how/where they find personel capable to even do these jobs which require a total compromise of all human decency and basic principles that I thought was reserved for the rare psycopath serial killer types, somehow lacking the critical inherent component of civil human beings, a nature that renders us incapable of comitting atrocities against others, be it our soul, conscience, heart, compassion. Scary to think these highly dangerous types may be much more common than i thought, including working, holding powerful positions within the systems we rely on to keep us, and our loved ones safe from being killed by bad doctors/hospitals The staff at Livanta/CMS/HHS would have to be full of them, as no person of quality with any measure of integrity, principles at all, could accept a paycheck for helping to cover for someone who blatantly killed my mom. The pain of losing a loved one is hard enough. When that loved one is killed by another person, it's a lot harder. There are no words to begin to convey how many times over much harder still it is watching the greatest love of your life, my precious beloved mom, being torturously killed, screaming HELP MEEE, AAAAA, HEEELLLP MEEE, in excruciating agony, all because of the gross extreme neglect, malpractice of a doctor who refused to see her against the adamant urgings of me and a profesional home nurse asking, begging that she needs and requires immeadiate attention. I assure you it is an unimaginable heartwrenching soul crushing indescribable hell that is hard to even go on living with, ONLY MULTIPLIED EVEN MORE MANY TIMES OVER BY THE EVIL DEPRAVED PEOPLE AT LIVANTA PROTECTING MY MOMS KILLER RATHER THAN HOLDING THAT DOCTOR ACCOUNTABLE, WHO I WATCHED, AND HAVE A PROFESSIONAL NURSES WRITTEN STATEMENT, AND A NEW RECENTLY RECIEVED DESCRIPTIVE OUTLINE FROM A NATIONALY RENOWNED HOSPITAL SAFETY & RESEARCH ORGANIZATION DETAILING HOW THE HORRIBLE NEGLECT AND MALPRACTICE OF A DOCTOR KILLED MY MOM, AFTER WALKING INTO THAT HOSPITAL WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LIKE ANYTHING ANYWHERE NEAR LIFE-THREATENING WRONG WITH HER AT ALL.

I was watching a program the other day about Harvey Wienstien, listening to the women talk about the pain, hurt, humiliatiin they lived with in silence until they got justice. I will never really know thier pain, but i do certainly know what it is like trying to go on living with the unbearable pain of extreme injustice tearing you apart inside, having walked into a hospital with my most beautiful precious beloved mom with nothing anywhere near life-threatening wrong with her at all, only to see her be gruesomely killed by a doctors most blatant gross severe neglect, malpractice that there ever could be. And as if that isn't bad enough, the soul-wrenching betrayal of Livanta/CMS/HHS/AARP twisting a thousand hot irons in your heart, using thier full power and influence to deny, disguise, do anything they can to cover-up for and protect my moms killer from accountability, aa if they have no conscience, no heart at all, and either don't recognize, or just don't care, that even if they have the power and connections to get away with it on paper, nothing in this world, nothing that they do, goes unseen by The One who nothing is hidden from, who knows all truth about everything. It truly baffles and confounds my mind to think how/where they find personel capable to even do these jobs which require a total compromise of all human decency and basic principles that I thought was reserved for the rare psycopath serial killer types, somehow lacking the critical inherent component of civil human beings, a nature that renders us incapable of comitting atrocities against others, be it our soul, conscience, heart, compassion. Scary to think these highly dangerous types may be much more common than i thought, including working, holding powerful positions within the systems we rely on to keep us, and our loved ones safe from being killed by bad doctors/hospitals The staff at Livanta/CMS/HHS would have to be full of them, as no person of quality with any measure of integrity, principles at all, could accept a paycheck for helping to cover for someone who blatantly killed my mom. The pain of losing a loved one is hard enough. When that loved one is killed by another person, it's a lot harder. There are no words to begin to convey how many times over much harder still it is watching the greatest love of your life, my precious beloved mom, being torturously killed, screaming HELP MEEE, AAAAA, HEEELLLP MEEE, in excruciating agony, all because of the gross extreme neglect, malpractice of a doctor who refused to see her against the adamant urgings of me and a profesional home nurse asking, begging that she needs and requires immeadiate attention. I assure you it is an unimaginable heartwrenching soul crushing indescribable hell that is hard to even go on living with, ONLY MULTIPLIED EVEN MORE MANY TIMES OVER BY THE EVIL DEPRAVED PEOPLE AT LIVANTA PROTECTING MY MOMS KILLER RATHER THAN HOLDING THAT DOCTOR ACCOUNTABLE, WHO I WATCHED, AND HAVE A PROFESSIONAL NURSES WRITTEN STATEMENT, AND A NEW RECENTLY RECIEVED DESCRIPTIVE OUTLINE FROM A NATIONALY RENOWNED HOSPITAL SAFETY & RESEARCH ORGANIZATION DETAILING HOW THE HORRIBLE NEGLECT AND MALPRACTICE OF A DOCTOR KILLED MY MOM, AFTER WALKING INTO THAT HOSPITAL WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LIKE ANYTHING ANYWHERE NEAR LIFE-THREATENING WRONG WITH HER AT ALL.

My mom was 88yrs old, very able and capable, either no life threatening medical problems.

There is no way that the extreme disturbing events of this can be exagersted. There are no words strong, powerful, deep enough to convey the depths of sick, evil, depravity that took place at times that would make the devil himself envious. And the more time goes by, the more i am recigizing the depth of impact it has all done to me that only grows worse, not better. There is one thing unquestionably, indisputably clear and certain.My beautiful most sweet, kind, gentle, loving, wonderful mom walked into Penn Medicine's West Chester Pa facility, Chester County Hospital, just about 3-months ago with nothing anywhere near life threatening, and suffered such gross neglect, malpractice, and even emotional abuse, that just about 3-months later, the last month of which she spent in excruciating extreme agony, pain and suffering, she is now dead at their hands. My beautiful, gentle & kind, most loving, caring, wonderful, greatest mom in the whole world, came home from the initially surgery seemingly fine, before beginng to complain of feeling weak and have some pain. Then when the home nurse noticed her incision was infected, and felt so strongly that this needed prompt attention that she took a picture and sent it to the Chester County surgeon urging him to address the infected incision, but he just absolutely refused and said he'd see her in a week at her next scheduled appointment. I called his office begging and pleading, but he just refused to see her. I called her family doctor, and Urgent Care, but they both told me only the surgeon can address that. Unfortunately my mom didn't make it to that appointment before collapsing on the ground in extreme pain, infection throughout her whole body. All I could do was wrap a robe around her, and call an ambulance which took her right back to Chester County where the same surgeon then admitted that yes we were right, it's infected, at this point so badly, and deeply, that he had to do another operation to cut out the infection, leaving a big hole in my mom's inner leg, and give her antibiotics and a wound vac, but he botched it again, as we later found out, when the rehab that they discharged my mom way too early into against my wishes, after a few days sent her right back by ambulance again, which is when we had her transfered to Upenn Philly, where an expert surgeon seemed upset himself that the Chester County surgeon had not immediately removed the apparent source of the infection, the artificial vein graft put in by the Chester County surgeon. Although that Upenn surgeon did remove that infected graft, and debride the incision again, by this time my mom was developing C-diff from all the antibiotics, and not being on any kind of a proper anti-bedsore mattress, nor ever once being turned or adjusted as I later found out too late they should've been doing every 2-hours, my mom, who went into Upenn Philly never having ever had a bedsore in her life, developed a bedsore that was allowed to grow into a massive, hideous, stage 4, excruciatingly painful, life threatening bedsore, which they would never mention, or change the dressing on in front of me, until I finally said hey whats behind this big bandage on my mom's back, and discovered it, and when I went to take a picture so I could compare it to later to be sure it's healing,, as I had done all along everytime they changed the dressing on her infected incision with no problem, they bizarrley freaked out, got security to escort me out of the hospital, not only robbing my poor sick mom of her constant support having been by her side helping and encouraging her all day every day for months now since this all started, but upset her so much I later found out she was throwing up all that night, and eventually confronted me outside with a whole pack of goons threatening and intimidating me off of the property, threatening to have me arrested if I even call to check on my mom's condition. I just could not believe that especially a hospital could be capable of such complete depravity, more like something from a fictional horror film than how you would think anybody with any degree of human qualities, compassion and and a conscience at all would be capable to behave, even if they were being paid, and from there it kept getting so much more and more profoundly sick and just so downright evil it was just truly very scarey. Even when I called Philadelphia Elder Care they called me right back saying the hospital says your mom is not in there, and I discovered they had actually removed my mom from thier computer system so that when anyone called the switchboard would say, we cannot put you through, there's no one here by that name. My poor sick mom inside alone and scared and me outside worried to death what is going on, how could this be happening. It was sheer horror, and in the end, they killed her. From there she went to a rehab in Exton, having walked into a West Chester facility just about a couple months prior with very non-life threatening health issues, expecting to have my mom around for many more good years, as her whole family commonly lives to 100+ years old, was lying there in a rehab bed, with a feeding tube in her stomach, a wound vac on her leg, screaming in constant severe agony from the giant 4 inch wide, down to the muscle bedsore hole in her back, looking like she belonged more in an intensuve care unit, for a couple days before being ambulanced again back to Chester County Hospital when her vital signs declined overnight, where I watched my poor mom, my most beautiful, kind, loving, most wonderful, sweet, gentle, person you could ever meet, greatest mom ever in the whole world, die and pass away. Gone forever, way too soon, in a torturous excruciating end of the greatest mom that God ever made, my mom, my world, and I can't even imagine how I'm going to even go on myself without her. No words could ever even begin to approach the sickening, disturbing imposible horror of this overall experience that I wouldn't even think would go on in some backwoods underdeveloped lawless place, let alone right here in Pennsylvania, USA.I would be compelled and obligated to every other future mother and son, to work with you, show you what pictures I did get, and cooperate fully to try to bring to light, and hopefully avoid anyone else ever again from having to go through this what killed my sweet wonderful mom, ruined my world, and if it doesn't kill me as it feels like it will, certainly will at least leave me very deeply and permanently scarred, and missing my mom. Sincerely,
Robert Snodgrass 484-252-9596

I wish I could tell my whole story on national/ international media to let everyone know that Dr Hayes, along with Penn Medicine for not care about having principles, values, doing the right thing, only money, and they are very evil to the core of thier souls, if they even have them.

Dr Hayes will go to jail for life for manslaughter, and Penn Medicine will be shut-down, or at least massively fined sending a clear message through the Healthcare industry.

I would very greatly appreciate if you could help me reach as big an audience as possible on every level and type of media. I have no qualms at all about using my name and info. In fact I prefer to use my name and full contact info, as you also may please do. I will sign any type of release forms immediately for that if necessary. Please contact me with any and every person, organization that you know of who may be capable of, or be in contact with anyone else who is capable of, using the law, media, people in power, any possible thing that can raise awareness, make a difference in what is going on that this may never happen again to anyone else please.

1514 Burke Road Baltimore Maryland 21220 – Freeze Accounts of Andrew von Ulrich – Elder Financial Exploitation investigation

History and facts – last 10 years

After my mother died – and prior to her death – for 45 years of marriage – I was essentially the only child living near them or actively in their day-to-day life. I participated in their day-to-day life (especially in navigating any legal or financial or transaction type events) – including all of their estate and financial planning. It became clear – that after years of marriage, separating assets into two buckets – his and hers from prior to marriage made no sense and they comingled all assets. Ninety percent of all assets came from my mother and her family (She had several houses – and money from her parents and an aunt). However, having been married for years and aging togethers as well as the legal documents and process required to prepared and maintain separate assets but to also provide for lifetime care for each other was no longer important. What was priority and important was care for life for both and sharing any remaining equally among 4 children – without exception even if the relationship was stressed or even estranged. I being a CPA (as was my mother), I participated in on all estate discussions and Wills and titling of assets. It was a focus and not a neglect of Regina von Ulrich or Andrew von Ulrich. They understood the importance of making sure their wishes were reflected in any documents. All Wills and all accounts were set up – and I participated in the strategy – to pass any remaining assets by way of beneficiary designation – and that remaining dollars were to be divided (I have copies) into 25% percent to each child. Much discussion happened around Christine in the early years as she was estranged from Andy and my mother. However, that became a topic that was decided about 15 or 20 years ago – the decision was --- all would be included. However, primary was care for life for both – and preservation of monies. All the trust and all the legal efforts to keep my mother’s money separate was stopped – although there are many Wills which had those conditions included. Andy and my mother committed to each other in front of me – and the attorneys (at that time) that they would never violate the joint wishes as a sole survivor. Melanie and I were always the two designated to insure this.

After my mother died and Andy was living alone – I visited regularly and had dinner – and watched (or pretended to watch and enjoy) his old movies. There were a few things that were important to him (he was a simple man of needs) – however, he knew that he needed to move to be supervised and monitored - for reasons related to age but also to a health diagnosis (to be highlighted below). I was – other than my mother – the only person who knew his health issue and prognosis (and also the cause of his death – however he was age 94 and had lived longer than the average from his cancer and the prognosis from the medical professionals).
We discussed Erickson Retirement Communities as an option – as I was a founding member of the Board of Directors for 21 years during the start-up and growth phase (built into a National Company) and we established the CCRC national community model of care and financing for seniors and a model designed for aging in place - (Continuing Care Retirement Community). I also Chaired the board of directors. However, he didn’t want to live in an old age home as he called it (BTW our communities are not old age homes and are very healthy active communities 😊). I also know things like - he had a face lift in his 60’s – again only my mother and I knew of this. He was a proud person and he wanted to live in the in-law cottage I had built for aging-in-place – which was only10 steps to my front door but independent living with safeguards and 24/7 monitoring.

Christine von Ulrich’s framing of the last 4 to 5 years as motivated by her goals – did not reflect the last 45 years or even the last 7 years. She doesn’t know the history and was not involved. She only started limited visits during the last 5 years. Although they had some prior contact over phone and internet – and an few visits by Andy to their houses to spend time – a few holidays. After a few visits – Christine talked to Andy about buying a house with (for) her and Andy to live – in Richmond VA. That was 4 or 5 years ago. Andy visited her – and came home upset – that Christine wanted him to move into a house they would purchase and she would take care of him. He wanted nothing to do with the idea – and said he wanted to stay in the in-law cottage. He was not happy at her persistence.

The Cottage is on a waterfront property with waterfront views – designed and built based on Erickson Retirement Community standards – note my son and I are both certified aging in place specialist. The Cottage was built for my mother in-law – and was designed as an aging in place cottage with a full bath and laundry and bedroom and kitchen – with all the safety features including an intercom system linked to my house. The front door is 10 steps from my front door and could be monitored 24/7. That is how I was able to find withing the day - Andy when he died. It has an emergency generator – internet – and all the features of senior living cottage – all on one level (no steps or obstacles). It has a separate HVAC system and a back-up generator for power. This was built special for aging in place seniors – and family. It is not a rental.

Andy was living in a mobile home park – double wide with my mother when she died. It was 30 minutes from my home and I was the only relative nearby. It cost him $600 a month to rent the pad (land space only) plus utilities and maintenance – he was spending more than $1,000 a month.
I was called regularly by park management if something happened. The park management called often – as Andy was often reported by neighbors for exposure or peeping Tom concerns. I would talk to Andy and he indicated he was outside peeing in the bushes. I of course told him he could not do this. Melanie living in Florida was called as well (She and I had always been the people to notify) – but all she could do was call me. Christine was not involved in his life at the time. When my mother-in-law died – Andy asked if he could move into the cottage – indicating he needed a place as he was getting older – it was also helpful to me – since we could monitor 24/7. I helped and my family helped – with selling the mobile home – and moving him. He liked the furniture my mother-in-law had – and he said he wanted the bed, living room furniture and kitchen table/chairs – including the recliner my mother-in-law had (ironically mentioned by Christine as Andy’s – of course she had no idea since she was not involved – it is soiled and trash at this point). Andy was also monitored by our neighbors – we are a waterfront community on a peninsula and at the very end of the peninsula. If he fell walking – neighbors would bring him home. They all knew him.

Christine didn’t know any of the history and definitely doesn’t know that the Cottage was built as am aging-in-place Cottage for our family (however it has a sign – and painting of a lighthouse – with the word’s – Granny’s Cottage 😊). Comments about rushing to get things removed so I can rent the apartment demonstrates her behavior of quickly removing all valuables and paperwork that contained anything that suggested she exploited Andy or any evidence of her actions. I told her no rush. We documented all phones calls – have all text and emails – and they are enlightening (especially during the first 2 weeks after he died). Melanie had no idea at that point of the changes made. And could not understand Christine’s insistence on need to quickly remove anything he had in his apartment. Of course, given the fiduciary responsibilities we all have to the estate – including Christine – simple elements such as an inventory of all assets in the apartment – jewelry, rare coin collects, silver and others – never happened. In one day – Christine came in an removed all valuables and the laptop with all his information and bank accounts – and did not remove anything that was trash. It should be noted, we have documentation of all calls – especially the 2 weeks immediately after his death – her many text asking to visit immediately to clean out his apartment – again we said no, there was no rush and we had time – plus we were going to sport events with out grandchildren. Her insistence and many texts suggest she wanted to get something out of the apartment quickly. Very odd – even Melanie said that there was no rush (until 2 weeks later when Christine told her that everything was now in only their names – changed during the last 3 years) Melanie then went “radio silent”.

Health Information and Cause of Death – known only to his doctor and myself – and the coroner.

Andy was in final stages of Malignant Neoplasm of Prostrate. Diagnosed about 15 years ago – but he is now at age 94 – and during the last 5 years – it was obvious he was slowing down significantly and impaired – all of his senses were significantly declining. Andy had a hard time hearing, his eyesight had deteriorated (he could not read without telescope lenses – and then only very slowly), he slept much of the day – and he was very slow understanding or knowing what he was being told. He spent a lot of money (which we paid on our account) playing with the TV and purchasing streaming services or movies or whatever – and even though he could not see TV well. He had an added speaker – that was so loud that we could hear from our house 😊. His walk was a shuffle and only very short shuffle steps. He cognitive understanding was slow – but he also never wanted anyone to know. When telling him something he often just said “yes” or “ok” – and I never knew if he really understood what I said.
I knew he had terminal cancer – he knew he had terminal cancer – and we all knew that when age 80 – maybe this slow cancer (not treated for age and protocol reasons 15 years ago) would give him 5 to 7 years – but he wanted to be somewhere – like this Cottage where we would monitor him 24/7. His wallet had 2 phone numbers for emergency contact – My wife and my phone number (no others). The night we found him – the police was at our home for 6 hours – and we needed his files and wallet – and the police had full access to everything as well. The last 5 to 7 years – Andy knew he was deteriorating – and the visits 3 or 4 times a year by Christine for a day would not provide her information into Andy (other than he was fragile and very slow) – but he condition and her not engaging much as he was maintaining his daily routine while she did whatever she did - allowed her to purchase a new laptop and work the entire day while Andy slept mostly or watched TV (most listened) while she sat on patio – going thru his files – and changing the banking verification numbers to her phone – or including her number as well. She had full access to all his passwords and accounts – and honestly, we all trusted her intentions – even though she was not a very social person with anyone while visiting – we knew that was just her.

The death certificate – which I have. I was managing his affairs and called the police and worked with the coroner. The police contacted his primary physician based on the records we provided that night. This was not important and Christine would not really know - she didn’t live with him nor did she have information or history. She did not know what caused his death and would never have guessed it was the cancer. She continued to ask during the 2 weeks we talked – do I know what caused his death. Without the coroner and his primary care physician – I didn’t discuss his medical history or condition with her.

Andy had all the signs of end of life and was in final stages of his malignant cancer and cause of death. In addition to not recognizing people (unless he saw them regularly and even then, it took him time to study to person), he was fatigued, maintained a routine and he had cognitive impairment. Cognitive impairment is a key factor in why older adults are targeted and why perpetrators succeed in victimizing them (most often relatives are the perpetrators – a very classic and documented statistic) . Even mild cognitive impairment (MCI) can significantly impact the capacity of older people to manage their finances and to judge whether something is a scam or a fraud. Mild cognitive impairment is an intermediate stage between the expected cognitive decline of normal aging and the more serious decline of dementia.13 Studies indicate that 22 percent of Americans over age 70 have MCI and about one third of Americans age 85 and over have Alzheimer’s disease. At age 90 to 94 – and being in the absolute final stages of cancer – Andy was a prime and easy target. However, I and Melanie knew the 45-year plan and goals of my mother and Andy (However, Melanie is now compromised – during the first 2 weeks after Andy’s death Melanie was clear on the wishes and plan as outlined for 45 years).

Will and Beneficiaries

As indicated earlier – every estate decision ever made was done with intent – and a significant amount of money was spent on legal fees – mostly to avoid this exact situation – but also to save on taxes. Their estate is not of a size that really needed much planning – however both my mother and Andy wanted to avoid conflict – how ironic this is just what they wanted to avoid. Christine during the first 2 weeks after Andy’s death said a few things that indicated she was struggling with the process and how to even tell Melanie and I of what has been changed during the last 3 years – and to somehow express it as she had no idea until now. Ironically, when she discussed it with the attorney helping with probate – she had information about the last 3 years? 🙂 I was the one that said she better get expert help with probate given the situation – and she called the local firm who helped make the changes to the Will 3 years ago – a Will of no value since all of the estate has been changed to reflect different beneficiaries – and to enrich Christine. I also recommended that his pension might have a life insurance element – and she called. From a fiduciary point of view – we want all assets accounted for. I actually think Christine and Melanie would benefit from a collective mutually friendly settlement of the estate – as we were doing for the first 2 weeks after Andy’s Death – prior to learning what Christine has been doing. However, the Will is not as important – and not material – since all assets have been removed from the estate (except maybe one bank account). It should be noted this strategy to designate as beneficiaries the heirs (all 4 children – 25% each) was planned long before Christine arrived back in Andy’s life – and was done with Andy and my mother and myself. What was changed during the last 3 years – as a fragile – late-stage cancer and 94-year-old man slept – were the beneficiaries. This now requires active forensic investigation by the Federal and State agencies – the banking regulators – the financial institutions – and honestly the involvement of national advocacy groups who are focused on a National Crisis as our population ages.

The executor has a fiduciary duty to an estate, and to its beneficiaries, when settling an estate plan. A fiduciary is someone in a position of trust and power, and the law recognizes this and so places an added burden on that person or institution to act with honesty, integrity, good faith, fairness and loyalty.
The fiduciary accepts legal responsibility for duties of care, loyalty, good faith, confidentiality, and more when serving the best interests of a beneficiary. Strict care must be taken to ensure that no conflict of interest arises to jeopardize those interests.
When administering an estate, an executor must give notice to creditors and pay the debts of the estate. The executor must also gather all assets together, prepare and file tax returns, distribute assets and close the estate. At all times, the executor must account for all assets of the estate.
Hiding and mismanaging assets, and a host of other deceptive, unfair, or negligent actions by an executor can result in litigation and could be illegal. These are crimes that federal and state regulations and various laws are designed to protest the estate and all potential beneficiaries.

We already know – fact – that assets have been removed from the estate and Andy’s legal residence – without inventory and without a valuation. Are they material in value? However, without following the process required legally in settling an estate – we don’t know for sure. I have inventory of coins – not sure it is a complete list of all the coins. However, the efforts to change beneficiaries during the last 3 years that removed two of the beneficiaries and increase the amount to 50% for both Christine and Melanie does have all the signs of Elderly Financial Abuse of:

1. A 94-year-old man in final stages of a Malignant cancer – frail and fragile – with signs of cognitive decline – significant hearing loss – and significant eyesight issues. During a 3-year period changed $500,000 in bank accounts to have Christine and Melanie be beneficiaries of entire amount – reversing 45 years of history and known intention of the deceased. There are prior estate legal documents with Register of Wills that help document – and even Melanie said she had a copy 3 weeks ago. Note: Christine told Melanie – on the phone with me – not to e-mail me what she had – email was not safe. 😊

There are list and examples of crimes published by Federal and State agencies – and this is a National Crisis.
• providing true but misleading information that influences the elder person's use or assignment of assets (Dessin, 2000);
• persuading an impaired elder person to change a will or bank accounts or insurance policy to alter who benefits from the will or policy (Central California Legal Services, 2001; Frolik, 2001; Smith, 1999);
Current Situation
During the last few weeks, Christine and Melanie have stopped all communication. Your office was investigating and just sent an email/letter. We all have a fiduciary responsibility – and as such – we have initiated and reported this situation to a number of Federal, State and Financial Authorities. One financial institution has already reached out several times. The United States Postal Service has opened a case – on Mail Fraud to investigate. They have requested that we keep all the records we have for use in their investigation. A report has been filed with the FBI – and we are waiting for triage -which might result in them referring to another Law Enforcement Agency, and The Maryland Department of Aging/Adult Protective Services also has been notified.
The urgency of removing the balance of contents is silly as they are of no value – Christine has already removed all valuables – and especially the computer laptop. I cannot release the files – but copies can be made. It is in the best interest of all concerned to be 100 transparent and to work together. We can mitigate cost of settling estate (even if we never talk again – we will be honoring the wishes of our parents and grandparents). My moral compass and North Star are to do the right thing for everyone – especially the fragile such as elderly and disabled. My goal is definitely not financial and 100% of my portion will go to legal cost or charity. For the Record: The reference to me being a millionaire and calling me a millionaire made me smile. I have only been called that once in my entire life – and that was by Christine via Melanie. Andy would never have said that or referred that – or make reference to a name “label” such as you are a millionaire. Insulting comment to me --- yes – but it does not reflect my values or my focus or who I am. That comment was from someone who does not know me – and was not said as a compliment. And if anything – Andy always bragged about my career at Kennedy Krieger Institute and my involvement at Erickson Retirement Communities. And the comment about Cristy – my deceased brother’s daughter – not being involved – that too was not Andy’s words. I would ask him about Christy – and he would say – I know Melanie talks to her and visits her – they are friends. And it was never a negative comment from Andy. Again, that was not Andy. Your investigation must have been an interview with Christine as I can hear her words in those quotes.
Proposal and next step
1. I have also been reviewing everything with two separate attorneys – and have considered engaging them – on a contingency basis.
2. The financial institutions need to continue their work – as this is serious for financial institutions – and much has been written and recent laws requiring them to take a more active role in stopping Elderly Financial Exploitation
3. The regulatory process – we have notified a few – and have a list of several others we are told to notify.
4. Advocacy groups – national – we have a list to include and have talked in the phone to 2 of them.
5. The Attorney General’s Office and state legislators – many of whom I know – need to understand how serious this national crisis has become – and if this case can be an example or help them understand the issue so as to involve the legislature – than that would be a win for me and the elderly. I am in a phase of life that impacting public policy and helping the most fragile is important to me and my last phase of career.
I know that these issues are important (I know the Elderly are fragile and at risk of abuse in so many ways. My entire life was focused on the Elderly and Disabled and most fragile of society. I know that those with disabilities and the elderly need advocates and people to look for ways to protect them from exploitation. Ironically – I never thought I would see it in my back yard. Fortunately, I personally have been blessed in life with many things – people and relationships are the most important. Blessings are not money or things – and doing the right thing ‘Always” should be our North Star.
I would hope that Christine and now Melanie would think about this – remember their duty as fiduciaries – and their legacy as well. I hope they find their North Star – and we are prepared to work with them – talk to them – and settle the estate – doing the right thing.

The Federal and State laws and regulations combined with Banking regulation and procedures - actually help those committing Elder Financial Abuse - since most are relatives - and can gain access to accounts and passwords - online changes to accounts and beneficiaries are easy. Even if the Elderly person cannot hear well or see well - and if something is required to be signed - trust of a 94 year old is easy as well. Paperless Banking also helps cover up - since no mail is received to open and see changes.

Don't trust - and always have 2 people involved - and financial institutions should not change bank accounts without notice to prior beneficiaries if the current owner is over a certain age. 94 years old is too old - statistically this person have cognitive issues.

Better oversight and regulatory control and an investigation unit that is combined efforts of State, Federal and Banking regulation. A single point that those can get help and a coordinated federal investigation - forensic in nature. Today computer trails are evidence and banks have those files and history.

We are currently in process of getting the interest of Federal and State and Banking. The amount taken is $500,000 and Andrew von Ulrich is not famous - so finding help is not easy. Ideas on who to call - all financial institutions have been notified and we hope assets frozen until an investigation is complete. Jim Anders

I am a 77-year-old retired geriatrician. I moved into a Continuing Care Retirement Community four years ago. I am enrolled in traditional fee-for-service Medicare. I am in relatively good health, although I have had an inguinal hernia repair and a total right hip replacement in the past two years. I am concerned about future healthcare.
I have become aware that private corporations are taking over Medicare (they plan to complete this by 2030) using an innovative program started by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation. It is currently called ACO REACH. This program will replace my traditional Medicare with an inferior privatized Medicare type of insurance.
As an academic internist with boards in internal medicine, geriatrics, and palliative medicine (when I retired in 2009), I helped a medical school set up a geriatrics training program, and we certainly taught and worked to confront elder abuse, neglect, and fraud.
There is a need to collect stories of how privatized care harms seniors and educate the public about this program.

ACO REACH was started by Trump associates (a dormmate of Jerome Kirshner) expressly to place all of Medicare under private corporations. The initial program was called Direct Contracting. The details were worked out so that physicians would switch seniors' billings (invoices) from the government to private companies without the permission of seniors. Physicians were offered benefits, and they proved willing to switch. After all, physicians are underpaid by Medicare and feel no great allegiance to the program. This will have a devastating effect on the sickest of seniors. They will no longer have insurance. The program was renamed ACO REACH (under Biden) essentially to confuse both the public and physicians about the nature of the program. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) supports this program. Only the Secretary of Health and Human Services can cancel it (according to legislation written to protect innovations). Wall Street stands to make billions of dollars (estimates are that they could keep 35% of government dollars). Politicians are being aggressively lobbied and given large donations. The public is in the dark.

ACO REACH looks to be a significant future perpetrator of elder abuse, neglect, and fraud. It needs to be publicized, confronted and stopped. Most seniors learn of the program when they receive a letter from their physician practice telling them they are now under this new program. Their only recourse is to seek new providers. CMS uses a policy of "auto-aligning" patients to ACO REACH if one physician who has provided care is in the program and their billing exceeds 10%. Currently, seniors who find privatization under Medicare Advantage unacceptable can switch to traditional Medicare (although with problems obtaining Medicap coverage). This will go away. There will be no more traditional Medicare to switch to. CMS has announced plans to convert all of Medicare to ACO REACH by 2030. There is a difference between health insurance permitting physicians to order and prescribe what is needed and having a private company that decides what will be paid for.

What is my hope? That the Senior Lobby would rise and make this an issue of national importance. Private companies use limited panels of providers, denials of service requests, and payment refusals to accomplish their goal - to profit from the government's funds. Medicare Advantage has cost the government more and cornered the mostly healthy seniors. If all of Medicare becomes privatized, seniors will either face denials of service or pay for service out-of-pocket. This is different from what most of us planned for in retirement. This is not how Medicare was set up to provide services. It will take a significant effort on the part of organizations like yours to stop this program. You will face major corporations with deep pockets, politicians indoctrinated in the advantages of private companies providing better care than the government, and a public unaware of what is happening. CMS argues that private companies will provide better care more economically than the government. The facts do not bear this out.

My role is to draw attention to the developing problem. I am not a politician and need help to understand the process of using local or national media. My submission of an article to our local paper was denied publication. AARP is primarily funded by United Healthcare which stands to profit from ACO REACH, so they cannot speak honestly. Most politicians remain unaware of the looming problem and are content to entertain lobbyists and collect donations. Most media outlets seem reluctant to publicize such a controversial confrontation.

My parents live together in their marital home. My father has Parkinson's Disease. My mother has a high school education, but it appears that she might have had a learning disability when it comes to language and math skills.

My parents have been the victims of financial exploitation twice. The first time my father clicked on something on the computer which allowed the scammers to take over his computer. He provided them with gift cards to "fix the problem with the computer".

The second time my mother was contacted by phone. The scammers told her that their IP address had been used to look at porn in other countries and that the FBI was investigating them. They told my parents not to tell anyone because if they did whoever they told might be in danger. They told my parents their financial information had been compromised and they would be sending them a check ledger. My mother bought over $12,000 in gift cards and provided those numbers to the scammers.
My mother has gone back to work at 73 as a school bus driver due to the financial damage this scam did to her and my father. My father is a retired federal employee. He is 81 years old. He took early retirement at the age of 55. This second round of financial exploitation has caused them significant financial harm.

Elder abuse, neglect and fraud are horrible actions. The perpetrators prey on vulnerable adults. All forms of elder abuse are horrific. Exploitation or fraud might only appear to affect a person financially, but it does affect them emotionally. There are feelings of embarrassment, shame, self doubt, and other negative thoughts.

My hope is that the Federal Government recognizes the importance of funding adult protective services programs across the US and its territories. This is to respond to adult abuse, neglect and exploitation, as well as educate the public about these horrific acts. Adults deserve to live a life of dignity and respect.

My late husband and I moved to a 'senior' community in Virginia (Runk & Pratt, Hardy VA) at age 83. We relied on the information we were provided, both in print and 'on line' and purchased an 'independent cottage' only to learn that their advertising was false and misleading. We learned that our 'likeness' was (and still is) being used in their advertisements, without our knowledge or permission, which I understand is a violation of both federal and Commonwealth of Virginia laws. We subsequently moved back to Florida, where my husband died in April 2021. Plrior to selling our cottage in Virginia, I spent many months researching their fraud and after informing the other cottage owners, they were for the most part reluctant to address the issue, mostly out of fear of 'causing trouble' and/or the fact that they were not physically, or in some cases, mentally able to deal with it and/or move elsewhere.

I would like to share the fact that 'seniors' need to be very diligent when researching senior living communities and if and when they detect fraud they need to be brave enough to address the issue and not just become silent victims.

I wish more people knew about elder abuse, neglect and fraud, but most of all I wish more people actually cared and were willing to speak up. Until they do, it will continue.

I moved back to Virginia after my husband's death, in order to live near one of my sons. I am currently living in a senior community and own my own condo. Once again, I am experiencing the lack of courage on the part of the residents to address issues with our current HOA. Until seniors are willing to speak up they will continue to be victims - it's just tht simple.

I would like to add the fact that I spent most of my life serving others, including serving as a Peace Corops volunteer (S. Pacific 1984-1986), serving as a court advocate for battered women, guardian ad litem for abused and abandoned children, and in various other capacities. I'm ready, willing and able, to speak on behalf of seniors to help bring awareness to this ongoing abuse. The challenge appears to be finding people who care.

I'm a retired Federal Public Affairs Specialist (Peace Corps, U.S. Air Force & E.P.A). I am experienced in dealing with media and more than willing to take the message where it will do the most good.

Thanks for all you are doing!

GUARDIANSHIP ABUSE:
I am a 69 year old woman who looks and acts very much younger. If unlawful discrimination is abuse, then i am abused. My son is a victim of unlawful discrimination as found in a court of law. Unlawful discrimination against him is unlawful discrimination against me as ine who is associated with him.
I just started the petition: To eradicate Guardianship, a restrictive means of care that violates the U.S. Constitution, the International Human Rights Laws and the integration mandate of Title II of the "ADA". I wanted to see if you could help by adding your name.

My goal is to reach loads of signatures and I need more support. Guardianship is a CRUEL, EVIL process that in Julian Coatley and his mothers experience with it, Guardianship is NOT PROTECTION but is instead EXPLOITATION. You can read more and sign the petition here: You will also be able to listen to the podcast of a critical case of inhumanity, the "Julian Coatley Story, which can also be Googled and read online. Thanks so very much.

"Carolinians on Channel 17 news, calls Guardianship a "SICK, TWISTED, process"
I agree

The kink above in the communication tells it all. Please open the link which will also allow you to kisten in podcast to the "Julian Coatley Story".

They know to know that it is a critical act of inhumanity that seriously needs the communities to intervene in peaceful protests nationwide to lead to eradication of abuse as inn Guardianship against the elderly. There are so many organizations that claim to uphold the Civil and Human Rights of the elderly, yet they do not seem to go the extra mile in fighting for the eradication of Guardianship abuse towards them.

I am truly giving all that I have mentality, physically and spiritually as I fight tirelessly against abuse towards the elderly. Guardianship abuse stories are everywhere. Carolinians on Channel 17 News here in Raleigh, NC call Guardianship a TWISTED, SICK process. The many stories of Guardianship abuse with Guardianship being a restrictive means of care in violation of the U.S. Constitution is a problem nationwide. To my knowledge and understanding, Guardianship also violates the International Human Rights Laws and rhe integration mandate of Title II of the "ADA". Again, I dedicate all of me in the fight for protection of the elderly. Please share this story as you see fit as I expose and raise awareness.

My dad and mom live with me. My dad was just diagnosed with Dementia in Nov of 2021. He was functioning 100% on his own even after a bout with Covid in June of 2022.

Good Morning:
August of 2022, I took my 81 year old dad to ER in Rome, GA. He had mild dementia. In the hospital they were not able to get a urine specimen or an IV started. He kept getting out of bed to try and pee then couldn't. They gave him Ativan "for agitation". I said he has to pee but can't he isn't mad he just can't stay in bed when he has to pee. They finally said he has an enlarged prostate and to follow up with pcp on Monday, this was a Saturday. Sunday morning we called his home therapy (from different incident w/covid) and she said take him back to ER now!! We did he had over 1500 CC in his bladder. Then sent him home with Foley. He still kept trying to get out of bed to pee so I gave him an Ativan to "calm him" per dr. He got very violent and angry. We called ambulance to take him back to ER and it was horrible from there. Hospital kept giving him meds (Ativan) even when I told them not to they made him angry etc. Every day it was more and more. Come to find out all the meds they were giving him they should not have because of his dementia-his reaction was not positive. They WOULD NOT listen to me.
Then they discharged him (after I had to fight with Insurance) to a REHAB, because he was not steady on his feet. Rehab was not the best but tolerable as he could walk. Rehab sent him home (due to insurance) after about 9 days I think.
He fell at home (due to meds his pcp gave him for sleep from what I am being told) and broke his hip.
Hospital sent him back to same rehab where the neglect began. He go there on a Tuesday.
a) didn't get ANY form of therapy until the next week.
b) Falls were NOT reported to me (now remember the man couldn't walk) but he had head injury and rib bruises.
c) then his incision "reopened" and he needed 7 staples again, I walked in on him layin in a dirty diaper-with his incision NOT covered.
d) I walked in on him sitting up in his bed with breakfast spilled on him with his staples coming out sitting in his food.
We got him out of that REHAB to a different one.
e) was admitted to ER 2 times while in this facility for "accidents"- I have pics
They were trying to follow up with dr on hip. The dr who did his surgery quit. So come to find out NO follow up had been done to my knowledge, not even in hospital!
They finally got him to the Practice of dr who did dads hip surgery, and it was infected he had to immediately go for a debridement. Which then caused the hospital to give him MORE antipsychotics-which I told them not too AND Ativan, etc was on his allergy list by this time.
My dad is now on hospice. Lost about 100 lbs since August. Won't eat (another story from 1st rehab-where he started all of a sudden choking when eating. And sleeping all of a sudden -his roomate said they were giving him shots to keep him calm)
So much abuse. I have tried to call lawyers who say there is a case but no one calls back.
I did report his last ER hospital stay from 1st Rehab to APS-have not heard back.

There is much more to tell, this is just the highlights of neglect and abuse from the hospital as well as the Rehab facility.

I wish us families were able to report this abuse and people believe us. I am tired of hearing well he has lived a good life. He WAS NOT that sick!

To help others in abusive Rehab/nursing homes.

Please help the elderly suffering in these conditions!

At this point no one can help my dad, but I want to help the others suffering. Their families have no idea, especially if they come to the facility the same time of day. Its when you "pop in" you see the real treatment.
