Abuse of Elderly People LEGAL LANE By Jim Klepper 56 July 2016 BestDriverJOBS www.bestdriverjobs.com I drive over the road between 2 and 3 weeks at a me and am always worried about my mom who is in a nursing home. What I fear the most is the workers there abusing her either physically, mentally or by taking her property or money. The last me I went to see her she was scared and wan ng to leave. I felt really bad because I have to drive to pay for her care and for my family. She can't live with us because she can't do stairs and we live in a two story house with a basement and the bathroom on the first floor has no tub or shower. Is there anything I can do to help her and protect her? –Rob N., TX Rob, I remember my first jury trial as a new lawyer. It is something you never forget, just like your first kiss or your first love. I worked in the prosecutor's office and had the job of putting an elderly man into protective care of the state because he was unable to care for himself. I had very mixed emotions about do- ing this, but knew he would be unsafe to live alone. He had no family to care
