Funeral home director faces jail time
LTC Liability Monitor, January 15, 2007
A funeral home director has been charged with financially exploiting an elderly resident from a Portage, IN, nursing home and faces up to three years in jail, reported the Gary Post-Tribune. Court documents say the director met the resident when he took care of funeral arrangements for one of her family members. Police say the director, who was appointed the woman's power of attorney, was not paying some of her nursing home bills and other bills so the nursing home contacted the county's Adult Protective Services, which discovered that the director took $68,000 from the woman's account in the form of promissory notes, according to the Tribune.
