Roanoke Adult Home Abuse and Neglect Lawyer Bob Keefer: We need to protect our loved ones from neglect.

Karen Preston, 54, walked away from the Adult Home on February 11, 2007, where she lived due to her for severe schizophrenia.

She was found in the woods about a mile away.

Adult Home Resident Karen Preston walked in circles, fell repeatedly, lost her shoes and finally curled up under a tree.

She was found dead from hypothermia.

On February 23, 2008, about a year after Ms. Preston wandered away, Ella Maye, a resident of the same Adult Home wandered away.

Ms. Maye, 78, suffered from dementia and heart disease.

Ms. Maye was believed to be crawling back to the Home when she crumpled and died from a heart attack on someone’s front yard.

The Adult Home’s staff had simply failed to conduct the hourly bed check.

Two dead residents who did not need to die that way.

That an emotionally ill person might walk away is not unexpected -- it is unexpected that the adult home would not take precautions to protect the resident from this foreseeable danger.

2.    Always Available; Automatic Updates.  Besides keeping a close eye on the trial attorneys, we are your point of contact whenever you have a question about your case or just need advice.  We will routinely contact trial counsel and automatically provide you with updates about your case.  It can sometimes be difficult for even the best trial counsel to be in court and properly update you on important developments in your case.    

3.  No Additional Cost.  Best of all, hiring us to manage your case costs no additional money.  For the same percentage of your recovery or judgment as you would pay for trial counsel alone, you will have our services and expertise.

Virginia Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Lawyer Bob Keefer: Your Senior may be in danger from other patients with criminal histories.

Virginia Thurston, then 77 years old, an dementia patient, was sexually assaulted by 83 year old Ivy Edwards.

Edwards had 13 pages of criminal charges with 59 arrests, including child molestation and sexual assault.

One nursing home watchdog discovered 380 registered sex offenders living in nursing homes. That number did not include older felons and sex offenders like Edwards who were convicted before mandatory sex offender registration.

One Minnesota nursing home was closed after sex offenders transferred from prisons were discovered fondling, beating and sexually assaulting other residents.

This happens because of money – once the prisoners are placed in a nursing home Medicaid and Medicare pay the freight not the state bureau of prisons.
