My parents live in Indiana, but my mother has a brother in Kentucky who is in a assisted group home with 2 other men. He has cerebral palsey. His helper has complete control of him and is using him to gain use of his money, ie. having him buy a freezer, furnature, recliner (he is in a wheelchair all the time), drapes, taking vacations to places SHE wants to go. She talked him into buying a van which he no longer has. She or someone takes him where ever he needs to go. He cannot drive. She lives there and almost never takes any days off. My parents spoke with the director who is in control of hiring and placing the helpers almost 6 weeks ago telling her to put another helper in his group home. Nothing has been done about this problem. When they visited him 6 weeks ago he sat there with his head down never speaking to them while this woman shouted at them the whole time saying she would call the police and have them thrown out. All they did was go to visit him while they were in town. He has been in the hospital twice now with an imbalance in his meds. We think she has overdosed him. He has been there for decades and there has never been a problem with any of his helpers before this woman.

Please, I need serious answers.

  1. .   THe Attorney General will help you.  THis is fraud and Elder Abuse. It must be stopped.


  2. Have your parents tried filing a complaint with the state or any other regulatory group that oversees senior citizen affairs in the state...typically state and local governments have people in place to look out for senior citizens.

  3. Contact the Bar Association of the nearest large city (or of the whole state of Indiana) for recommendations and referrals for pro bono attorneys.  Also contact the social welfare office of Owensboro.  You need to report this woman, and get him a new caregiver before it's too late!

  4. why would you limit yourself to a lawyer that would work for free in such a case?

    how about not worrying about a budget, and talk to as many attorneys as you can in the area, see what they can do for you or what they recommend?
