Residents in nursing homes and assisted living facilities are being exploited! Social security checks, pension funds, land, and savings accounts are being targeted by family members to take from their loved-ones. Cases are on the rise. Is this due to the recent fall of our economy or just the way that family care for their loved-ones?
South Carolina Code of Laws deals with exploitation in a very defined manor. Anyone using power as legal representative and or family to misuse resources for their own wants and needs and that do not take care of a resident's needs can be fined and or imprisoned. Normally, local law enforcement is involved, the Attorney General's Office, and local Ombudsman.
Social security checks to hundreds of thousands of dollars are being taken from residents.
