We could not meet in person, and so I had to perform a legal intake with him over the phone on the floor of my bathroom – the only room in my studio apartment that had a door so I could maintain privacy. The phone call was brief and confusing, and the only thing he could tell me was that the military harmed him, and that he could remember his social security number. He wanted me to represent him in a disability claim for service-connected compensation through the Department of Veterans Affairs. Frank had schizophrenia. His type was severe. He suffered from hallucinations and delusions that were so all-encompassing that I sometimes wasn’t entirely sure whether or not he knew he was talking to me or to the voices in his head.

Story by Harold BrubakerSterling Manor Nursing Center, a Burlington County nursing home, received the nation’s biggest fine for patient safety violations this year and is now facing a federal and state crackdown. Regulators have threatened to terminate its participation in Medicare and Medicaid, the government insurance programs that pay for most nursing home care. Federal regulators fined Sterling Manor $738,590 in connection with a January complaint inspection that uncovered multiple drug overdoses by residents. Separately, in July, Sterling Manor was fined an additional $266,450, but details on why were not immediately available. The two fines gave Sterling Manor the highest total for financial penalties nationwide out of more than 2,300 nursing homes with fines from January through Oct. 2, an Inquirer review of federal records found. The facility’s history of “serious quality issues” is reflected in a warning icon posted on a Medicare website that rates nursing homes on quality[…] Casey Chairs Final Aging Committee Hearing on Disability Rights

U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), Chairman of the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, held an Aging Committee hearing entitled “Empowering People with Disabilities to Live, Work, Learn, and Thrive.” At the hearing, Chairman Casey highlighted his long record as a champion for people with disabilities, and laid out his vision for how Congress must continue to work to empower them. The hearing was Casey’s last as Chairman of the Aging Committee. “From the beginning of my time in the Senate, I heard a constant refrain from disability advocates that their needs were not being met—they faced barriers to save for their future, they were being paid well below a living wage, and they could not afford or access the care they needed,” said Chairman Casey. “Those refrains, including from some of the people we heard from at today’s hearing, are what inspired me to make people with disabilities a focus of my Senate[…] Bob Casey Leads Senate Aging Committee Hearing On Empowering People With Disabilities

(WBRE/WYOU) — President Joe Biden commuted the sentence of disgraced “Kids for Cash” Judge Michael Conahan, and one victim is expressing anger over it. Conahan and fellow Judge Mark Ciavarella, both of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, were convicted in connection with a scheme that sent thousands of juveniles to two private detention centers in exchange for millions of dollars in kickbacks. Nexstar’s WBRE spoke with Amanda Lorah, a victim of the Kids for Cash scheme. She called the clemency for Conahan simply wrong and an injustice.“It’s a big slap in the face for us once again,” Lorah said after hearing that Biden had commuted the Conahan’s sentence. “We had no time to get any time taken away from us. We had no one to talk to, but now we’re talking about the President of the United States to do this. What about all of us?” she asked.[…]

The jury returned the guilty verdict Friday, following a five-day jury trial in Naples. Assistant State Attorney Jessica Horowitz prosecuted the case. On November 30, 2019, the victims’ son contacted the Collier County Sheriff’s Office in reference to grand theft of $20,000 in jewelry and a car. The defendant, a friend and neighbor of the victims, was the suspect. The victims were an elderly woman who was under crisis care by hospice and her husband, who was now living in a skilled nursing facility.

In March, Pocahontas County prosecutors charged Becky Sue Manning, 70, of Lake View, with felony wanton neglect of a health care facility resident, an aggravated misdemeanor. Court records indicate Manning recently entered an Alford plea of guilty to the charge in which she didn’t admit to the underlying allegations, but acknowledged there is sufficient evidence to prove wanton neglect should the case go to trial. Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 13, 2025. The charge carries a minimum penalty of an $855 fine and a maximum penalty of two years in prison plus $8,540 in fines. According to prosecutors, Manning, a licensed practical nurse, refused repeated requests to provide physician-ordered care for Marvin “Pete” Jacobs, who died Feb. 19,[…] Florida Guardianships: Who Shall Live and Who Shall Die?

by Tony MessengerNORMANDY — Lisa Poppe’s sister is a dubious statistic.She’s among more than 3,000 mentally ill adults in Missouri who have spent more than 100 days in a nursing home in the past year. Poppe’s sister, Jill, isn’t elderly. She doesn’t have Alzheimer’s or dementia. She’s 50 and in a nursing home, with Medicaid picking up the expenses, because so many people in the state with mental disabilities or illness are being warehoused in nursing homes.They are in facilities like the Normandy Nursing Center, where Jill lives, because of a “series of systematic failures of the state” of Missouri.That’s what a Department of Justice report determined this past summer, when the federal government notified Missouri that it was likely in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act by failing to provide mentally ill people with access to services in their communities.“Specifically, the State fails to provide sufficient community-based services,[…] Abuse charges against four eldercare workers underscore gaps in state oversight

In three of the cases, the alleged assaults were caught on video. Such dramatic evidence of alleged eldercare abuse is rare, one national expert told New Mexico In Depth on Wednesday, adding that abuse often goes unreported and unaddressed, in part because there are gaps in oversight of such facilities. The four defendants are Salomon Sanchez, 20, a worker at Community Options, Inc.’s facility in Santa Fe; Lee Carrizales, 64, an employee at Pacifica Senior Living in Santa Fe; Edwards D.
