Also, provide funding for all care givers/nurses with health care support mental burnout/depression issues regarding our provision.
| Being a nurse for more than 30 years the provision still remains high burnout and shortage of people will to go through the turmoils associated with the job. It has only been getting worse with lack of support.
| That at times it's not bad people in the provision.
| I hope for better support for the people that want to be in the profession.

| October 1, 2025 | Mona | 18017 | mkouryelias@gmail.com | Both of my brothers, up until the passing of my father on 4/25/24, had been estranged from my parents and me several times, including the longest and latest estrangement between 2020 - 2023. During that time, there had been volatile incidents, for example one in public and another in my parents’ home, during which my mother stayed in her room when both sons came to the house.
Only as my father was dying did they reinsert themselves into my mother’s life. I had both my parents tested at a Memory Center with a Geriatric Specialist, as well as Home Care medical reports of my mother’s cognitive decline. In fact my brother, Victor, was pressing for an aide, stating that she had “plenty of dementia” in several of his text messages that can easily be produced.
Shortly after my father’s death, my brothers made many false allegations against me in order to mislead, control, and isolate my mother. When I returned back to work and when key friends and family were no longer at her home to support her, they began to increase the frequency and intensity of their visitations. Within days after that, they then took her to a new attorney, not her longtime attorney, and in one day, the attorney prepared and had her execute a new document that named my brothers as new POAs. These false allegations have been corroborated as incorrect by the few corroborating witnesses who testified and other actual evidence. The false allegations continue to this day.
She still believes the false allegations, My brothers need to control who she sees; they cannot permit her to connect with her long-time relationships. They know that she may have periods of lucidity and remember something and that will burst that bubble.
| County Courthouse Corruption:
Rule 2.11 for Judges; Rule 1.7 - 1.8 for Attorneys
Failing to Enter an Appearance
Misleading role in proceedings
Possible incident of coercion
Several judges and attorneys in this county belong to a musical group touting their legal profession as the name of their band.
Although this may appear to be a positive endeavor at accord between rivals in the courtroom, one should expect that an attorney and a judge belonging to this band would either disclose or recuse themselves if they found themselves in the same case.
One should also presume that an attorney belonging to this band would not purposely enter a case with a judge from the same band, again without disclosure (or recusal by the judge).
Such a situation of conflict of interest carries the possibilities of unethical behavior/procedural errors, biased rulings, and miscarriages of justice. This potentially can create a web of partisanship that essentially eliminates any appearance of impartiality.
Filing a Complaint with Disciplinary Boards (for Judicial and for Attorneys): no other plan of action for Conflict of Interest.
Two different Disciplinary Boards; two different responses to the same conflict of interest complaint filed.
| The pledges by the Governor of Pennsylvania, and the Department on Aging to protect senior citizens will fail. There is no plan of action for Emotional Elder Abuse.
Undue Influence and Financial Exploitation are crimes that are insidious and on the rise in the elderly population.
There are some forensic psychiatrists who consult on contested Wills to a person’s testamentary capacity and undue influence (Example Dr. Bennett Blum). The death of the elderly person seems to be the only way to prove predatory manipulation rather than investigating an ongoing situation, despite witnesses, an expert report by a geriatric physician, and evidence of the predators’ history and intentions, rather than helping the victim while they are alive.
“Mental Capacity” and “Undue Influence” are separate issues; both address the issue of vulnerability (Blum).
How do you stop the cycle? The Control by Design? Financial Exploitation?
Ineptness of the Department on Aging:
The Area Agency on Aging can write a report after an incident report, but it is unclear if they have the training and the means to investigate emotional elder abuse and financial exploitation.
For example, a discrepancy between what the investigator reports the victim’s doctor stating and what the same doctor wrote about the victim’s condition in the victim’s file.
Or, a report from a call on undue influence that doesn’t mention any investigation of the allegation, or interviewing the witnesses given.
| Filing for a new guardianship in order to see my mother, it has been since 6/7/24. When her neighbor tells me that she brings up my name and doesn't know why we are not speaking, it breaks my heart. aShe deserves to have dignity and the people she loves around her.
Educating others and helping others through similar circumstances, and hopefully engaging law enforcement in strategies that will help in an investigation.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | It is quite daunting to have called so many law offices and to hear the following: 1. Judges never get in trouble; 2. You will have to get used to it and just wait until she passes; 3. This happens all the time; 4. Your mother has to be declared incapacitated for an investigation to happen.
The information is there, but the solution is not.

| April 30, 2023 | Laura | 91306 | laura945@earthlink.net | In September 2020, I moved in with my then 89-year-old mother to help her with the necessities of daily living. On January 2, 2022, my mother fell and broke her hip. Kaiser Permanente's medical negligence crippled her. She has been in and out of hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and a board and care ever since. In February 2023, I extricated her from Kaiser, switching her to Anthem Blue Cross, which went into effect on March 1, 2023. Two days before the switch, Kaiser took her out of the (out-of-network) hospital against medical advice and, over my objections, stuck her in one of the worst skilled nursing facilities in Los Angeles County. The SNF withheld my mother's blood thinners (she's genetically predisposed to clots) without medical justification, causing her to have a stroke. No one noticed she'd had a stroke, making her ineligible for the medication which could have reversed the stroke. They told EMTs my mother had a DNR, knowing she did not. They also committed Medi-Cal fraud.
| Kaiser Permanente, one of the largest health care providers in the U.S., is committing Medicare fraud, tax fraud and health care fraud, involving out-of-network hospitalizations.
On June 27, 2022, my mother was a patient at Sherwood Oaks Post Acute in Thousand Oaks, California. She was sent there by Kaiser Woodland Hills, ostensibly to receive physical therapy after she broke her hip. (Kaiser selected Sherwood Oaks. Because of limited availabilities due to the COVID pandemic, Kaiser sent her to a skilled nursing facility which was out-of-network.)
While she was a patient at Sherwood Oaks, my mother went into septic shock and was taken by ambulance to Los Robles Regional Medical Center in Thousand Oaks. (Los Robles was the closest hospital to Sherwood Oaks, and is out-of-network.) She was diagnosed with bi-lateral kidney stones in her kidneys and ureters, her right kidney was inflamed.
Los Robles saved my mother’s life. She was a patient there for twenty-five (25) days, eventually being discharged to Kaiser Panorama City on July 22, 2022.
The amount claimed by Kaiser for reimbursement from Medicare does not match the amount Kaiser paid Los Robles as settlement of their bill for my mother’s care.
Per Medicare, Kaiser filed a claim for my mother’s stay at Los Robles in the amount of $893,868.25. Medicare approved the claim in full, and reimbursed Kaiser $0.00. Per the Explanations of Benefits (EOBs) prepared by Kaiser, Kaiser paid Los Robles $59,261.79 for my mother’s hospital stay. Kaiser’s Medicare claim for this out-of-network hospital stay was $843,246.46 more than what they actually paid Los Robles to settle the bill, a difference of 1508%.
This was not an isolated incident. On August 25, 2022, my mother was taken by ambulance to Northridge Hospital Medical Center, where she was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. She was transferred to Kaiser Panorama City on August 27, 2022.
Per Medicare, Kaiser filed a claim for my mother’s stay at Northridge Hospital in the amount of $54,342.00. Medicare approved the claim in full, and reimbursed Kaiser $144.81. Per the EOBs prepared by Kaiser, Kaiser paid Northridge Hospital $9,814.32 for my mother’s hospital stay. Kaiser’s Medicare claim for this out-of-network hospital stay was $44,527.68 more than they actually paid Northridge Hospital to settle the bill, a difference of 554%.
It would be reasonable for Los Robles and Northridge Hospital to be able to take tax write-offs for the difference between the amounts they billed Kaiser (as my mother’s Medicare provider) and the amounts Kaiser actually paid them for my mother’s care. It is not reasonable for Kaiser to file Medicare claims for reimbursement of amounts higher than they actually paid Los Robles and Northridge Hospital.
If Kaiser did what I think they did, Kaiser’s grossly inflated Medicare claims were filed to facilitate filing falsified tax write-offs, write-offs for money they never paid.
I can provide you with copies of Kaiser’s Medicare claims for my mother’s hospital stays at Los Robles Regional Medical Center and Northridge Hospital Medical Center (dba Dignity Community Care), along with Kaiser’s EOBs for July 2022, August 2022, September 2022, October 2022 and December 2022. I can also provide you with copies of my mother’s financial and health care powers-of-attorney, as well as her signed HIPAA Release.
I have already filed complaints with Medicare, the IRS, the Franchise Tax Board and the Department of Justice.
I am currently organizing my evidence regarding Kaiser’s actions to get out of paying for my mother’s care at Sherwood Oaks. When completed, I will be filing complaints against Kaiser and Sherwood Oaks for perjury (to Livanta), falsification of medical records and HIPAA violation with the FBI, the California Attorney General, and the Los Angeles and Ventura County District Attorneys. (Kaiser and Sherwood Oaks sent Livanta medical records indicating my mother received weeks of physical and occupational therapy, before deciding she had plateaued and would not benefit from additional therapy. Kaiser's EOBs prove my mother received only two PT/OT sessions, one as part of her evaluation the day she was admitted.)
| So-called "health care" companies need to be held accountable for their actions. Kaiser routinely discriminates against the elderly, the disabled and the chronically ill. Kaiser has no interest in the health and welfare of their members, only in how much money they can make off of them.
| I want justice for my mother. I want Kaiser and Sherwood Oaks held accountable for their actions. I want the laws changed to protect our most vulnerable citizens.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | I do not wish to remain anonymous. I want everyone to know what Kaiser has done, and am willing to tell anyone who will listen.

| October 7, 2025 | Darci | 97814 | Accounting@DukerBookkeeping.com | Charlene was being taken care of my her eldest daughter. The eldest daughter would not allow anyone to get involved because she would have lost control of the money. We have shown money missing from her accounts, we have shown pictures of how she was left to live (cat shit every where she sat and laid), lack of food, wondering the streets, multiple complains about elderly abuse, the State of California investigated, found evidence there was abuse but declined to prosecute the person who committed the acts against Charlene. We have emailed every office we can think of in the State of California and you would not believe the responses, every single one stated they could not get involved. I get it, they are elected now, who cares. We have even been unable to file a police report. We are being blocked by the State of California at every move and the only option we have now is to go public with her story and pray someone will help Charlene out, buy applying pressure to the State of California into prosecuting someone who committed a crime in their state against one of its citizens. We have pictures showing this, we have bank statements, we have witnesses. The criminal is getting away............
| I guess the most important part of this is what I am seeing on the back end. I cannot believe this is going on as frequently as it is. The State received multiple complaints (I believe it was over 5), I do believe the social worker that was assigned to the case did a good job in looking into the allegations, she found evidence there was abuse. If a social worker for the State finds this, how is it the State can decide not to prosecute? This is wrong. Who is protecting the elderly? There is over $240,000 dollars moved from her account into accounts she has no authority on or access to, highly illegal but it is okay with California. People need to get involved, I have on my end and in my community now that I have been brought into this.
| Watch for anything that is out of the normal. When you have a funny feeling about things, follow those feelings. Do not sit back and think it will be okay, trust me, it is not okay. I am fighting an uphill battle and to be honest, I do not even think the State of California gives a hoot about its citizens, so if the State does not, and you do not, who is going to? NO ONE!!!! Again, if you feel anything is off, don't accept it, investigate it, confirm it, even doing this will stop a majority of the cases I am hearing about right now. They are going to realize you are paying attention to the surroundings.
| I guess this is where my faith and hope comes in, no one should have to go through this, as everyone feels. I would hope the states take a more serious stance on the consequences to elderly abuse and elderly financial abuse. It should be made much easier to bring awareness to the situations.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | We want to thank you for your platform, we are finding it hard to find any official in the State of California to care, all of them have responded with we cannot get involved. If you can believe this, the person in question is still in charge of all the money, the State of California says it is okay.

| October 17, 2025 | Paul McCarthy | 96796 | Littlejetman@protonmail.com | On 25 September 2025 coming home from dinner, my wife and I noticed someone was in our house and had broken in. We called the police.
My wife is 84 and I’m 63. The police showed up went in the house. The people in the house were actually my wife’s daughter who owns a portion of the house and her boyfriend who we believe is involved with methamphetamine dealing.
The police removed my wife and I from the house stating that her daughter had a right to be there. I explained to the police that my wife was handicapped and she was afraid to be there and to sleep in her own bed. They did not care. in fact, the police were so jealous. They helped the people who broke into our house to change the locks. I explained I had a lease. They were swearing at me and telling me to shut up on several occasions. We have this all on film where they were apologizing after screaming at me and my wife and terrorizing us.
We’ve tried to report it and no one seems to want to help us here on the island of Kauai.
My wife is due for surgery this week. They forced us to go for a TRO.
The judge was so callous she wouldn’t give us an extension in spite of my wife’s upcoming knee surgery. And now I have to go to the hearing again today, Friday, 17 October, here On Kauai and family court with my wife. In spite of the fact she’s got a Woten problem that’s been documented a gallbladder issue and needs a new knee. She’s been enduring mental attacks from her daughter for 15 years.
I’ve been enduring racial slurs crash thrown out deaf threats for at least 10 years from her daughter and boyfriend. It appears that the police are on their side almost like it’s a profitable business to be run. Apparently they want to turn the house which was once a crackhouse when the daughter was in control of it 10 years ago, back into a crack house again we could certainly use some help. It’s definitely an interesting story and I’m sure the videos will surprise everyone please contact me thank you.
| Elder abuse is rampant and institutionalized on the islands of Hawaii
| Frain abuse is unbelievable, especially with the local police the way they treat elderly and handicapped individuals actually a federal crime
| I hope that we can get some assistance with some legal aid as we don’t have any money because I’m paying for her healthcare out of my pocket mostly even though she has insurance and they won’t do anything for unless they do what they wanna do first which I believe is fraud perpetrated by the state of Hawaii and its people And the government doesn’t care about its people
| Yes | Yes | Yes | Never thought there’d be so so much negligence and abuse of elders in paradise

| December 5, 2025 | Denise | 27703 | fitzpitz3697@gmail.com | Who is Julian Glenn Coatley?
A nice man, a kind man, like his dad, a man of little words, who loves women and children. He cringles when children are mistreated and or when women are abused, especially those with mental disabilities. He is an African American male who sought a normal life with me, his devoted mother, a woman commended as being a loving mother, a mother of over 200% supportive of my dear son, Julian by all over the years who have known me.
I have always been commended as being a genuine good mother with whom my son shared a strong bond. We were always there for one another. To Julian, the words that I utter, "Julian, I love you and I will always stand by you, no matter what".
Julian and I were inseparable in public, always discussing our strong faith and values with others.
The community respected us for our high moral standards. Family activities, such as recreation, dining, and shopping, were integral to our relationship, but the matters of guardianship have deprived us of this.
Our most cherished moments were being dressed well and attending worship services together. That always puts a big smile on Julian's face. (exhibit, son in suit) Julian found solace in these services, which had a profoundly positive effect on his mental state.
He needs his worship services and the association with his spiritual family. We enjoyed so much together, the assemblies, conventions and other spiritual outings which included good clean fun.
Sadly, the matters of guardianship with its restrictive means of care have deprived him of this. To interrupt this does not align with his best interest.
Despite experiencing housing difficulties, my receipt of a housing voucher appeared to be a turning point for me and my dear son, Julian, however, what started with my asking for local government assistance ultimately led to a downward spiral of never ending and ongoing distressing events.

Wrongful Guardianship, Appointment under The ARC of NC DISCRIMINATES by keeping an African American male, Julian Coatley at Risk of Abuse and Exploitation
[Raleigh, NC] - Julian Glenn Coatley, an African adult American male, a vulnerable individual, is isolated from his mother, by being held against his will by a wrongfully court-appointed guardian, with his current whereabouts now unknown.
The guardian has cited the need for him to get "used" to the relocation to a new facility under a proven negligent provider as reason for withholding his location,(pretextual)despite concerns of abuse and exploitation as confirmed by the NC "DHHS", however, evidence suggests the true reason for withholding his location is Julian's history of substantiated abuse and exploitation reports against the very facilities he's been placed in under the guardianship.
'This is a clear case of retaliation and exploitation,' said Denise, a concerned mother and advocate. 'The guardian's actions are putting Julian's safety and well-being at risk, and it's imperative that he is located and protected immediately.'
The motion filed in NC seeks to expeditiously remove the guardianship and address the alleged abuse and exploitation, however getting the hearing lags

| August 22, 2023 | Alphonse | 70802 | Alphonse.Noel@La.Gov | As a retiree of an agency that investigated abuse and neglect of person's with disabilities, the multitude of stories regarding elders and the disabled populations are endless. It is amazing how many people know about abuses, but not how to report or proceed with assisting. Since retiring a year ago and returning part-time to the agency, I work in a role that involves program monitoring. Doing listening sessions throughout the state revealed that an unusually high number of people don't know that an agency exist to help elders and disabled going through such situations. Allegations consist of physical abuse, sexual abuse, exploitation, extortion, and neglect.
| Although people like to be shielded from hearing the reality of the hurt and pain that our revered, who deserves our deepest respect, are enduring - it might benefit society to be more open in that there might be more assistance provided to protect, prevent, and help in the recovery of abuses. So many victims suffer in silence as the heartbreaking fact of the matter is that the abuses are, many times, committed by close family members. Societal and cultural beliefs can often determine a person's position on letting another family member - let alone law enforcement and the like - know about what is occurring. As in the issue of Child Protective Services programs, the victim may be further abuse by threats from the perpetrator should the victim report. Children feel further abused by being removed from their home; leaving their school; leaving the family pet(s); being ostracized by family; feeling sneered at by others who might know the situation; etc. The same applies to the adult population. Also, sad as it might be, it is not guaranteed that those who receive certain reports will handle the matter correctly and not make the situation worse. The hard truth of the matter is that there needs to be an offer of resources to the victim that will create positive permanency that just might not exist. Whereas, the victim may be left in the physical care of the accused. Advocacy of the highest level is a must.
| I wish that people understood that it does not take a scholar to determine that someone's needs are not being met and that this include medical, nutrition, shelter, emotional, financial, etc. Knowing when and whom to report is key. Turning a blind eye does not make the situation better. Some - including me - may find empathizing and placing themselves in the same situation. To effectuate a change can often be as simple as determining how would you want yourself or a loved-one to be treated? Would you appreciate someone walking away if it was your mother? Would you be happy to hear that the alleged victim died due to something that you could have reported? You do not have to have a "Holier than though" attitude to submit to decency and love for your fellow brethren.
| Ultimately, it is not being realistic that we will live in a utopia of euphoria. However, I'm hopeful that we will put more effort into taking care of our less fortunate devoid race, religion, aesthetics, financial status, etc. This would involved city, county, state, federal participation. If we could revisit yesteryear when it took a village to make this thing called life work, I believe that it would make our existence so much better.
| Yes | Yes | No | As I work in an agency whose policies involve designated employees to speak to media, I cannot talk to such groups. With agency permission, I can advocate for the agency by being a part of a panel, presentation, and the like.

| August 22, 2023 | Liza | 60616 | 7734258487 | The abuse became concerning to my grandmother when Margie husband died, her daughter started asking for large sums of money but wasn't being attentive to her. It became noticeable to me when her daughter told her to visit with her in Seattle for a while but then she never returned and lost control of all her assets and freedom of life.
| To whom it may concern;
My dear elderly friend Margie L. Smith who lives in Seattle, WA, who's been a friend of my family for 80 years isn't being treated with respect, dignity and honor at the golden age of 99. She's been deliberately deprived of her cell phone so I have no way of knowing her current status. To say the least, I'm heart broken and want to shine a light on this elderly injustice. The perpetrators is her narcissist daughter a retired performing Arts teacher in Seattle and son-in-law who is medical doctor, active license with conditions. I filed a complaint on June 23, 2022 with dshs and from my knowledge the investigator didn't go to the house until September 27, 2022, which give them enough time to cover up the abuse. I'm baffled at how this doctor uses multiple names and pictures to deceive the public and get away with it. I've reached out to her daughter and son-in-law asking if I can talk to her or come to see her and they sent me a text message describing criminal trespassing. I feel powerless, when challenging a physician and feel justice will not be served because of his title. My daughter and I have traveled to Seattle three times last year 2022 and the last visit they refused to let us visit, despite the police going to the house and Margie telling the officers she would like to see me. The daughter and son-in-law made false claims about me to the officers. This has been traumatizing and heartbreaking for us. We were very close, like family.
DSHS/APS hasn't given me an explanation for their delayed response in visiting Margie and there findings. I would like an investigation of DSHS/APS files pertaining to this case and how it was conducted.
I have photos, video, text messages and audio recordings.
| What is important for people to know about elder abuse, neglect and fraud is that it can happen to anybody, no matter there professional background and assets. The perpetrators are not only unrelated but most case are from family members.
| That all elders will live their best life with dignity, respect, love and support. I hope that one day all elders will have access to assist living care if needed.
I will like a law in all 50 states that enforce for any individual 90 years old or more bi-annual in home visits from a hospital gerontology social worker and a in hospital annual visit with a geriatrics doctor.
gerontology annual visit
Adult Protective services policies and procedures need updating and more accountability for their case decisions.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | I have pictures depicting the abuse my dear friend had to endure. How can I get them to you via email?

| March 1, 2026 | Linda | 55125 | 651-398-1454 | Hello, my name is Linda Hood.
I was a victim. Yes! Too, many Minnesotans are reporting abuse in healthcare facilities. I generated Minnesota legislative Bill HF3077, allowing video cameras in healthcare facilities, to prevent abuse of vulnerable patients.
This bill addresses privacy issues by allowing cameras to be used only at the patient or family request. Today, we are asking for your support to move this Bill to the floor this session for a vote.
Thank you for your time.
| During March 8–14, 2026, I will be on Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C., I plan to meet with legislators and their staff to advocate for national legislation that would allow cameras in all healthcare facilities and patients’ rooms with consent only at the patients' or family request. A similar bill, HF3077, is currently circulating in Minnesota. This issue deserves national attention to help protect vulnerable patients, promote transparency, and give families peace of mind. Being physically present in D.C. provides a rare and meaningful opportunity to initiate these conversations at the federal level.

| August 22, 2023 | Anonymous good guardian | 48346 | ssserselc3@gmail.com | My elderly mother had already made her Will out as she had a son and daughter disabled one by auto accident another by COPD and she wanted to make sure the two other adult children (I was one) that were guardians of the two disabled would make sure if anything happened to her would have the means to take care of the disabled ones. I was also POA/Patient Advocate for mother if she ever became incapacitated and other sibling POA for finances for our mother. To make a very long stiry shorter a greedy sister decided to become mothers chore person through DHS and started on a plan to put our mother under guardianship when she did not need one and had 2 sons living with her attending to some things. This sister did not get along with one of the brothers and started making false accusations of almost everybody whom she knew helped mom for many years as she was hardly ever around. We started confronting her about taking money, jewelry etc. snd she petitioned probate with slandering lies about the supportive siblings and ones mother put in charge in her end of life plans. She kidnapped mother out of her home took her to her home and isolated her away from even the disabled adult children. She recorded phone calls and monitored everything on a baby monitor in mothers room. When the court date came she had a good attorney with mothers estate and mother had court appointed attorney she did not bring mother to court as she started her on a antidepressant and started her plan to make her seem dementia wad going on. Mother had reported her to Social Security that she changed her address and bank with them without permission and mother was looking forward to tell het story to the judge. Well thst is when we realized the judge was corrupt snd along with sisters attorney in judges chamber already planned the outcome. The judge would not allow myself and other sister in charge of mothers plans. No due process was given we were not allowed to tell her mother had plans in place and did not need a guardian &/or Conservator. Whatever lies or not we do not know only that we were not able to have out day in court to speak the truth or show evidence bank records, end of life plans or anything and were treated like criminals slandered by the actually criminal petitioning the court in the first place. The worst part is our beautiful, trusting, vulnerable elderly mother was put under the racket of hospice and if you could see the picture I took of her when on rare occasion was able to pick her up to through a party for after bring with me for 2 weeks when the criminal went on vacation for het birthday the nurse could not believe she was the same person as I was not drugging her. My mother told the nurse the criminal was stealing her money, her purse and she did not even have a dollar or an ID. The nurse spoke to the criminal a year later mother was dead 58 pounds she had no heart or lung problems. Died from natural causes my ass she died from hospice cocktail caused by a greedy daughter. What I would like to see changed is no guardian petition should ever be accepted by any probate court without mediation first as that gives time fir the truth/evidence snd would have given my mother a voice or myself as Patient advocate/POA speak for her, also a judge should have to ask for these documents and put in writing why she will not honor this and lawyers should have to tell the people that a judge can void them at their own biases and there is nothing you can do about it. Put your plans on video that you do not want a professional guardian if you do not and who you want and where to find your documents or register them.
| Pass Bills already written to this affect and make the judges follow the law.
| It is mostly all about the money. They will still everything you worked for all your life and leave even your disabled adult children homeless.
| For all these corrupt judges, lawyers, doctors, police, nurses, nursing home staff, social workers, professional or sibling guardians etc. get exposed and justice served. You could never believe or imagine the devastation it causes until it happens to you or a loved one. There is nobody immune even all the ones listed above can and do end up in this nightmare.
| No | Yes | Yes | Save the vulnerable elderly and disabled from this abuse, because thes elder abuse tasks forces can not even pass the Bills.

| March 11, 2026 | Robert | 97814 | 2083698302 | My Mom Charlene has mostly lived alone, with a community around her. Most of us kids live in other states far away.
She ran her own Marriage & Family counseling practice in Normal Heights, San Diego, & was active in the community.
That all changed when she had a massive stroke and was forced to retire. initially, she recovered amazingly well and returned home.
When she was diagnosed with dementia, her Daughter moved in to take care of her. As a result of her stroke, Charlene was unable to manage her own emotions, so it was extremely easy to set her off, because her mind was still sharp and she could reason things out. Emotional abuse was her daughter's weapon of choice to get back at her after any arguement.
| Then Dementia set in, and Charlene's daughter began to emotionally abuse her and siphon off her money for her own ends. The rest of the family was not aware any o this was happening because Charlene would not mention it when they called. During a visit, I was able to watch Charlene do quite well on her own, displaying none of the erratic fits of rage her daughter kept telling us about. Afterwards, there were reports of Charlene being picked up by police because she was wandering the streets
Fast forward another year, and multiple abuse complaints had been filed with APS that Sheri was abusing Charlene, during this time Charlene's dementia got worse and with it, Charlene's daughter's abuse of her likewise got worse.
After Charlene went to the ER with a minor complaint, nobody could find her Daughter, who refused to answer her phone. I was called by my Aunt, who was called by the Hospital, and I flew out to find out what was going on. Her Daughter was ignoring Charlene completely during the day and complained that the stress was too much. The family had been told a lie, that Charlene's daughter had a financial power of attorney to take care of Charlene. Charlene's daughter had gotten Charlene to put her name on her bank account and had begun years of siphoning off her money for her own use. at one point, Charlene would be wandering the streets and her daughter simply did not care and did nothing to keep Charlene safe. a few more citizen complaints were filed against her for abusing Charlene, & when Police picked Charlene up off the streets, Her daughter pretended to be someone else and lied to the police officers, until the officers realized who she was and released Charlene into her custody.
None of Charlene's other family members were made aware of any of this because her daughter took their phone numbers off all her information so doctors. Police & social workers had no way to contact us. Then her daughter moved out of Charlene's home completely and abandoned Charlene with occasional home health care visits, which stopped after her daughter stopped using Charlene's money to pay them.
Charlene had long term care insurance, which paid for home health care, but at some point Home health care workers refused to enter Charlene's house due to unsanitary conditions. Charlene lived in cat feces & urine, which soaked her bed and all her furniture, drapes and walls. Charlene often wandered, penniless and destitute, because her daughter stopped providing her food, and removed Charlene's access from her own bank account. Numerous times, Charlene was picked up by neighbors from wandering in the streets hungry and confused. Her neighbors were feeding her, the local restaurant waitresses were feeding her, even the mailman confronted Charlene's daughter and her daughters only response was "I don't care." The daughter kept going into Charlene's house collecting rent from Charlene's renters and paying the bills, all while Charlene continued to live in filth. Eventually, things came to a head when Charlene was picked up yelling at cars while walking out in traffic. The EMT's refused to release her back into her house because she had no food, and the house was unlivable. Finally Charlene's assigned APS Social worker called me from Charlene's phone and let me know what was happening. My wife & I made arrangements for her home to be professionally cleaned.
| HHSA refused to prosecute, refused to take her daughter, the abuser off of Charlene's trust when Charlene's faculties eroded to the point where she could not make her own decisions. APS & the state fought every effort from Charlene's family to help her. we trie our best to get someone to file charges and get Charlene's affairs back into anyone's hands other than her abuser, but her abuser remains in control of Charlene and we have sacrificed everything in the fight to protect my mom, my home is in foreclosure and & we've run out of funds.
| Hope is in short supply. and we're going to be forced to return Mom back to California because her daughter has all legal control, so after we rescued Mom from the hell her daughter put her in, fairly soon Charlene is going to have to go back where nobody cares, and she will quickly die in that situation.
We don't know where to turn!
| Yes | Yes | Yes | Willing to witness to others, the dangers of dealing with abusers, the signs, your options etc...

| March 26, 2026 | Tania | 75052 | indianeyes1227@yahoo.com | My father passed away in 2008. He was married at the time to Pat Levandoski his wife). My father's will was the only standing will. Pat apparently started getting ill in 2022 and worsened in 2023. My father's life long neighbors and friends became concerned with Pat. Apparently, one particular neighbor became very interested in Pat. Stephanie Langeland. She apparently talked 3 other neighbors into "doing what's best for Pat" and they all needed to agree to get Pat help and Stephanie would handle everything. So, Jim and Lori (my father's lifelong friends and neighbors) thought they were doing the right by helping Pat. Stephanie had her Attorney Adam Sheridan draw up a trust, POA and much more that handed EVERYTHING Over to Stephanie. My father's house, finances and property. They sat on Pat's porch to get the documents signed. Lori, had to keep repeating and explaining to Pat what she was signing. She was apparently clueless. Literally a month later after signing over everything Pat was committed to a home. She was diagnosed immediately with late on set Alzheimers, dementia and schizophrenia. How could she be coherent to sign anything. Then Stephanie sold the house to her company name. I hired an atty paid $7000 for him to do not take this seriously and all he was stuck on was the fact an Atty was present when she signed the documents, and why would he jeopardize his career? Because he was a friend of Stephanie's and he thought no one would contest. Stephanie told the other neighbors if my brother or I ever tried to contact them to LET HER KNOW ASAP. She never once tried to find any heirs whether on Pat's side or my father's. This woman is NOT a guardian she's a PREDATOR. Stephanie saw a quick and easy money grab. I want my father's legacy back that he worked so hard for with his bare hands. I have been fighting this for a year now. Pat has just passed away on 02/23/26, and I feel my time is running out to try and save anything from my father.
| Don't give up, till the end. I'm not.
| People that claim to care DO NOT. There should be law a that make it mandatory to look for heirs in Michigan. This woman is NOT a guardian she's a PREDATOR.
| To get back my father's home and they honor my fathers will that he created.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | I need help as I am running out of options.

| May 26, 2023 | Steve | 92223 | smehl1506@aol.com | Hacked computer. Nearly cost us thousands of dollars.
| Received a pop-up notice allegedly from Apple (Apple does NOT send these) stating that my computer was hacked. The notice told me to call a rep. The rep gave his full name and false Apple ID number. (Real Apple reps don't do that). He suggested my bank account may have also been hacked. He asked me to give the toll-free bank member service number, which I did. (Golden 1 Credit Union). He said he would transfer me to a customer service rep at the bank. The person who answered was NOT a customer service rep. He told me my checking account had been hacked for more than $15,000. He said the only way to stop it was to withdraw $15,000 from my account and await further instructions. Fortunately, by that time, I got suspicious. So I visited my branch and talked to the manager. He agreed that this was a scam. I gave the names of the fraudulent agents and their phone numbers to the FTC.

| January 22, 2024 | Robert | 19335 | snod307@hotmail.com | My precious beloved mom walked into Penn Medicine Chester County Hospital, West Chester PA, very strong, in good health, with just a UTI, nothing at all anywhere near anything like life-threatening, before being killed by gross extreme severe neglect, malpractice, abuse, dying from things having nothing to do with anything she walked in there with, solely from things done to her by the surgeon/hospital.
| After Initially walkinginto the hospital for UTI, in otherwise very strong healthy condition, and also getting a vien graft in her inner left thigh when a non life threatening blockage was discovered there, my mom went home feeling well, doing good. After a week when the small incision on her left leg began to hurt the home nurse said it is infected and tried very adamantly to get the surgeon to address it immediately but Dr Hayes absolutely refused to see her even against my also calling and pleading with him to please see my mom, her incision is infected. He said she already has a previously scheduled appointment in one week, and refused to see her before that. My mom did not make it a week before collapsing on the ground from the infection traveling to her bloodstream and throughout her body having to be rushed back by ambulance. At that time the doctor performed a very sloppy botched operation to try to fix it and quickly discharged her against my strong objection to a rehab, who recognized as I had tried to tell the hospital, that she was not well and sent her by ambulance back to the hospital. Disgusted with the surgeon we had my mom transferred to Penn Medicine Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia where a surgeon was very upset to see the horrible improper work done to her by Dr Hayes and rushed her into surgery to try to correct it, although she was already very severely injured by the inexcusable egregious neglect and malpractice of Dr Hayes of Chester County Hospital. To add further complications to my mom struggle to survive the neglect and malpractice of Dr Hayes Chester County, they did not use a proper mattress, do any turning, using wedges, or any type of bedsore prevention at all in Hospital of University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, causing my mom to developed a massive hideous excruciatingly painful stage-4 bedsore, and when I reported this to Philadelphia Adult Protective Services the hospital lied to Inspectors that my mom was not in thier hospital, and even falsified records that her name would not show in the hospital registry to successfully stop investigators from seeeing her. A few days later my most beautiful, wonderful, precious, beloved mom, my world, my everything, and the very light of the lives of her family, extended family, and so many who she meant more than the world to, was dead, and despite a profesional nurses testimony, and a detailed outline from a hospital quality research center explaining the succession of preventable things done to her by the surgeon/hospital that killed my mom, Livanta, HHS, CMS, and every dept, official, and agency entrusted to hold accountable, protect people from unsafe hospitals, doctors, conditions, not only refused to take action, but what my unyielding efforts to have something done clearly exposed, was conversely to thier enlisted purpose, a deeply disturbing system of concerted denial, disguise, and cover-up, only promoting, encouraging, and ensuring even further escalation of vulnerable elderly dying in Pennsylvania hospitals at rates seven to ten times what they were just a few years ago, with no accountability.
| Our most precious vulnerable beloved elderly are being wrongfully killed at alarmingly hyper-escalating rates, and all of our government systems are doing nothing to stop it, and everything they can to deny, disguise, cover-up, and effective promote, encourage , and ensure it will never be fixed, and continue to escalate.
| Starting with justice for my mom, that the surgeon who killed her by what was the text book definition of negligent manslaughter homicide, 1) having had a duty of care, 2)having breached that duty of care, 3) that breach of duty of care causing very severe injury, 4) the extent of that injury being death, goes to jail for a very long time and never hurts of kills someone again. And total reform of our corrupt hospital oversight, regulation system that is killing our most precious beloved elderly at astronomically alarming rates.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | PLEASE CONTACT ME! There is much more I would like you to know about the extensive work I have done, and what I have discovered. I have been treated very badly by represenatives I have contacted, I have some very shocking things to share with you that are not in here, and I'm continuing ongoing relentless efforts to try to initiate change, at least to spread awareness.

| March 31, 2026 | Jacqueline | 34292 | jackelin.sullivan@yahoo.com | My father, brother, and I were close. Our father was our hero, and we never imagined he would be taken advantage of. Not in a million years.
My father married Marie 6 months after his Alzheimer’s diagnosis. It appeared that their partnership was equal, but no one in my family or hers knew of his diagnosis. My father made his long-term directives 2 months after they married. He named me as his power of attorney, and health care advocate, and my brother was his alternate. Their finances were separate. They had separate bank accounts and retirement accounts. Nothing they owned was joint.
Marie’s pattern of control gradually intensified as my father’s decline progressed. It wasn’t difficult to influence my father. Alzheimer’s had gradually eroded his keen judgment and every clear boundary he had set for himself. I didn’t understand what coercion was, and I never heard of coercive control until I began studying my father, his disease, and his relationship with Marie. The signs were subtle.
“In coercive control, the abuser seeks to isolate the victim. The pattern of behavior or actions used by a perpetrator is used to frighten, threaten, oppress, and limit their victim. A perpetrator will work to isolate and intimidate their partner to the point where their partner’s isolation from others and dependence on them gives them an immense feeling of power and control.”
Marie monitored my father’s phone calls with me. She was always in the background on speaker, filling in the gaps when he forgot a word or his train of thought. And never left my father’s side when I visited.
One afternoon, while watching TV with them, a commercial about receiving a check came on. It seemed to jog my father’s memory. My father asked, “Marie, didn’t we just get a check?”
She hesitated. Then said, “No.”
Alzheimer’s gave Marie leverage. As my father became more impaired, Marie grew more emboldened. In a twisted form of gaslighting, Marie turned my father’s lucid moment into a memory that never happened. I didn’t know who to believe. One morning, she left with my father, took out the trash, and put a fresh bag in the basket. I went to throw away something when I saw a piece of paper on top. I picked it up. The note was made out to Marie by the postwoman, Linda. She wrote, “I will continue to hold Jack’s mail.” Marie kept my father’s mail from me, on purpose.
I discovered after my father’s death that my father’s out-of-the-blue statement to Marie, “Didn’t we just get a check?” wasn’t a figment of his imagination. His moment of clarity was a window of truth. He had been receiving, signing, and cashing many Vanguard checks.
The note in the trash from the postwoman, addressed to Marie, “I will continue to hold Jack’s mail,” confirmed that Marie didn’t want me to see the IRA check expected to arrive at his home while I was staying with him during the month. There was no record of where the cash went.
Our attorney didn’t believe me when I expressed my suspicions of abuse while he was living alone with Marie. This leads me to believe that other family members aren’t always taken seriously when they express their suspicions against another family member. The fact is, coercion, intimidation, and threats against a person with Alzheimer’s are difficult to detect and harder to prove.
A person who intentionally instills fear to threaten and control another person’s actions and what they say is committing abuse. Emotional torment and isolation leave no trail when there are no witnesses or evidence. These crimes become invisible, and prosecuting the abuser is nearly impossible when the victim can’t remember or is too afraid to speak out. The first step in preventing abuse is to spot it. I discovered there are distinct types of abuse. One being isolation.
Marie physically separated my father from my brother and me. She enraged him and tried to make him break off his relationship with us. Then Marie tried to keep him in Florida at the end of his life. She manipulated a rift in his friendship with Murray and blamed it on my father. Marie stopped taking my father to the social events they both once frequented at the clubhouse in their Florida condo community. She monitored every call he made. I believe she did it because she feared the unpredictable lucid moments.
| There is no good reason and no benefit to keeping an Alzheimer’s
diagnosis a secret. Even the shortest duration of time can create an opportunity for abuse, coercion, and exploitation.
I learned important lessons.
I know I could have had a better chance at deterring abuse
1. If my father had disclosed the Alzheimer’s diagnosis to my brother and me within days.
2. If I had contacted a social worker to help my father begin the process of decision-making.
Having a social worker from the onset of diagnosis to mediate advocates, family, and loved ones can help the person with Alzheimer’s in four ways.
1. Evaluation. An Alzheimer’s diagnosis comes with many decisions to make. An experienced social worker can help advocates, family, and loved ones, look at and discuss all possible solutions, not just one.
2. Communication through mediation. The structure of mediation gives the person with Alzheimer’s, advocates, family members, and loved ones a supportive environment where all can speak and be heard. The power of persuasion is neutralized.
Decisions by the person with Alzheimer’s can be made without feeling cornered or pressured by one person’s beliefs and opinions on what they should do. These meetings support everyone.
3. Documentation through routine mediation protects the decisions of a person with Alzheimer’s through validation. Mediation keeps everyone up to date on the changing needs of the person. Ultimately, these meetings will strengthen, protect, and reinforce the person’s financial, medical, and personal decisions.
4. The byproduct of these group meetings is transparency. And transparency naturally creates a system of checks and balances, which reduces the risk of financial loss, questionable changes to medical, or long-term decisions, extortion, abuse, and neglect.
| Elder abuse is hard even for a physician or nurse to detect when a patient has Alzheimer's.
For example: I went down to my father’s house for the nurse's initial visit. Marie sat at the kitchen table when I explained to the nurse I wanted updates after their visits, which she agreed to. After the nurse went over each medication with Marie, she asked why the memantine prescription had a substantial number of pills left in the bottle. Marie had been told by the nurse that my father needed to take them twice daily, the required dosage prescribed on the bottle. Marie acknowledged she was aware of the dosage. She knew what the medication was for, yet she didn’t give it to him.
Memantine was the Alzheimer’s drug for memory enhancement. It was prescribed by his Alzheimer’s physician. I was at the appointment with Marie and my husband when he went over the dosage with her and us.
Marie took it upon herself to cut it in half. Memantine wasn’t a cure. It didn’t stop or reverse Alzheimer’s; it helped to improve memory and awareness.
Because the nurse corrected Marie, I thought she’d give him the accurate dosage. But I found out two months later that she had continued to cut his memory enhancement dosage in half.
My father’s cognitive impairment was severely impaired during the last five months of his life. Marie drove and took my father everywhere, including his primary care physician appointments. My father relied on Marie. He didn’t retain information, and he confused instructions. The primary care physician decided on my father’s healthcare based on Marie’s beliefs, opinions, and her narrative of me. When I looked at my father’s medical records, I discovered that the primary care physician had noted family tension. The daughter has power of attorney and is the health care proxy. She does not agree with the treatment course for the father and wife. But my father’s medical decisions were his. Marie and my father did not make joint medical care decisions. And the physician, without discussing it with me or the three of us together, made an opinion solely based on what Marie told her. The physician formed an opinion and a belief based on partial information.
• Marie deliberately and willfully cut my father’s dosage of memantine in half. My father relied solely on Marie, who was his caretaker, to give him his medications. The medication she cut in half prevented my father from having the full benefit of memantine. Studies have shown that this drug increases memory, awareness, and concentration.
This drug might have allowed him to recall a memory, what was happening at the moment, and to calm the agitation he felt after sundown. But Marie willfully deprived him of the full dosage, lowering his chances of it ever happening.
“Willful deprivation is a type of elder abuse. It means denying an older adult medication, medical care, shelter, food, a therapeutic device, or other physical assistance, and exposing that person to the risk of physical, mental, or emotional harm—except when the older, competent adult has expressed a desire to go without such care.” From the National Council on Aging, “Get the Facts on Elder Abuse.”
| Sharing our stories helps us to heal from these horrific tragedies. I used the pain and anger I felt as fuel to find answers for others in my book. My father was an ordinary man. As a Boston firefighter, he risked his life to save others, and now, after his death, he continues to help protect others through his story.
I know we can protect our parents, grandparents, and aging loved ones who are in decline when we learn how.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | Thank you for this opportunity to share my story.

| April 12, 2026 | Jill States | 29617 | jillstates8@gmail.com | My older sister is DPOA over my 96-year-old mother, who has congestive heart failure. She has and still is using her power, and my mother's lack of knowledge, because my father always did everything. My father has been gone for 10 years, and my sister cut communication off with me 8 years ago. During this time her and her 47-year-old daughter moved into her home for about 9 months, not paying a cent for bills, and verbally abused her, calling her senile, then not talking to her at all, to hiding her cell phone so she couldn't call anyone. The police were called to the house many times. Then my mother commented on the police and even APS I called them to say that she would like me to come over from time to time, but my sister didnt want me there to see her at all. My sister made false statements to mothers doctor and the Greenville police about me trying to get me arrested on grand larceny charges. She told the police that I was mentally unstable, going to the extent of having her ex living in Fla call 911, saying I had threatened to murder her, calling me a psychopath and career criminal
| Since all the above has happened, I called APS several times; they either wouldn't go or went and said unfounded, with my mother raising concerns. Mother recently had to call an ambulance to come get her one night, she was very sick and was admitted to the hospitial. My sister does not share anything with me, and Mom has said she is scared she will die in the house alone. My sister has maliciously used a 15-page DPOA paper, which my mother does not understand, to get her name on the house, all accounts, and everything. She took out a $75000.00 line of credit on the house for luxury renovations, things that the house didnt need, but to increase the value while my mother pays the monthly payments. She has spent my mother's money on herself and her daughter. She got VA benefits for our mother, but my mother has no idea where they are or how much she has. At the current time, I am waiting for bilateral knee replacement due to mobility problems. Also, having a husband with CKD keeps me from doing what I would like but also scares my sister, who might tell the police untrue things to have me arrested
| I wish I had the money to hire an attorney, and my mother would not have gone through this. I have tried to get help everywhere I know of without success. My sister lives 30 miles away from our mother in a house she conveniently took my mother to the closing to put her name on the mortgage so she and her daughter would qualify. My sister's daughter does not care for my mother and forbids her from coming to that house. I was very close to my father and promised him I would make sure my mother was ok, and I feel I am letting him down. My sister has split the entire family apart, and she doesn't care. All she is waiting for is for mother to pass away so everything will transfer to her. She treats it like a business deal with no regard for human life, and this is her mother she lets live alone.
| I wish I could get in front of a judge and be representing by a lawyer, I have all the proof that I am stating to show. My sister knows I do not have the funds for a lawyer, so she sits back thinking she is above the law. She has taken what should be rightfully mine, but the big picture is the way mother has had to live. My father passed away in December 2014. I never left his side for 5 days. I stayed there talking to him as he was in a coma from a stroke on the 5th evening. He was not monitored but checked every hour. The nurse came in at 10:30 pm and told me my father was gone, and I was still talking. I really do not remember anything else. My sister was in Georgia and didnt return to Greenville for 2 weeks. I just wish there was help for low-income seniors/people to make these wrongs right. Legal Aid does not handle these kinds of cases, nor does any other place. So many people get by with abusing their power over an elderly person so much, I never knew until I went through this, and family at that. I would have never thought my sister would do this but money changed her into a very selfish person
| Yes | Yes | Yes | This is wrong, the way mother is done. I just wish there were resources to help. The way my sister has done has limited my time with my mother, and even she has gotten my mother to beleive somethings talking negatively about my mother and me sometimes will fuss at me for no reason. All I have tried to do is help because I love my mother.

| August 24, 2023 | Brian | 30337 | bjones7331@gmail.com | Hello my name is Brian Jones and I first started getting neglected and abused back in 2021 at this nursing home called Pruitthealth Of Lilburn in Lilburn Georgia.
| I was verbally abused, I was left sitting in feces and urine for long periods of time, I was denied being put in my wheelchair three times a week as it was stated in my care plan I was denied physical therapy because they said I was not a good candidate the head physical therapist lied and said she did a full body assessment on me and she did not because if she would have she would’ve found out that I can move my legs and arms and that’s the reason why I was denied physical therapy so I had to find outside physical therapist to work with me.
| I wish more people would speak up about it to their love so they know what’s happening to them because it’s going on all over the world and the owners need to be held responsible for what’s going on inside of their facilities
| My hope for the future is that Congress and all lawmakers would step in and hold these owners accountable for what’s happening inside of their facilities stop letting them choose people over profit and make them put some of the money that they made back into their facility because 80% of these facilities are so worn down and downright disgusting.
