New Jersey Theft and Fraud Lawyers

Many residents who live in a nursing home truly treat the facility as their home, adorning it with decor of their choice and personal items that have special meaning. In addition, the residents have personal information on file that may be dangerous in the hands of untrustworthy individual, such as social security numbers or details regarding bank statements or credit cards.

Unfortunately, some employees of nursing homes take advantage of their residents’ vulnerable condition and may steal from the individuals, through property or identity theft. These actions can range in severity from the lifting of small toiletry items to serious financial exploitation.
