Elder Abuse Investigations

Elder abuse and the mistreatment of our senior citizens are commonly defined as follows. Elder abuse is a single or repeated act or lack of appropriate action, occurring within any relationship where there is an expectation of trust, which causes harm or distress to an older person. We investigate elder abuse and the mistreatment of senior citizens in nursing homes by sending Private Investigators to nursing homes nationwide. Intentional neglect by caregivers or other persons that cause harm to elders can be video taped, photographed and documented.

Nursing homes are often understaffed and lack the quality of highly trained professionals needed to care for the elderly. Physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse and neglect are major problems in some nursing homes. Elder abuse is not only limited to physical problems. Elder abuse also involves the exploitation of senior citizens as well. Stealing money, concealment of assets or misuse of real property are other forms of elder abuse. Elder abuse laws don't seem to deter those that misuse and violate rights of senior citizens.

TRVST Investigations private investigators help in these situations by making unscheduled visits to nursing homes. Patients that have high profile visitors often get better treatment or at least the fair treatment they deserve.
