  • The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to ensure staff followed their policy when they did not do a thorough investigation regarding a resident’s report of missing money.”

    The resident was interviewed as part of an investigation and said that “the facility holds his/her personal funds and about three months ago he/she withdrew fifty dollars from her/his personal account.” The resident said that “he/she had staff put the money in his/her wallet and his/her purse. Three days after the withdrawal of funds, he/she discovered there was no money in his/her wallet; a total of sixty-seven dollars was missing.”

Jonathan did a great job helping my family navigate through a lengthy lawsuit involving my grandmother's death in a nursing home. Through every step of the case, Jonathan kept my family informed of the progression of the case. Although our case eventually settled at a mediation, I really was impressed at how well prepared Jonathan was to take the case to trial. Lisa

After I read Jonathan’s Nursing Home Blog, I decided to hire him to look into my wife’s treatment at a local nursing home. Jonathan did a great job explaining the process and the laws that apply to nursing homes. I immediately felt at ease and was glad to have him on my side. Though the lawsuit process was at times frustrating, Jonathan reassured me, particularly at my deposition. I really felt like Jonathan cared about my wife’s best interests, and I think that came across to the lawyers for the nursing home. Eric
