Hi all. We had a terrible outcome when my parent went into a skilled nursing facility (passed away due to neglect and bed sores). After consulting with members on this forum, my siblings and I decided to retain a law firm to pursue damages against the nursing home (FWIW, www.seniorjustice.com did a wonderful job). Now we have made a substantial recovery, but I'd like to donate it to a deserving charity or non-profit that's goal is to stop elder abuse. I would not wish this experience on my worst enemy and I'd like to take some of the funds received and put them towards better accountability for these nursing homes.
Any suggestions on a reputable charity that focuses on stopping elder abuse and neglect? Thanks in advance.
Going back many years, Jessica Mitford wrote 'The American Way of Death' about funeral homes, and it had world wide influence for many years (including my mother's funeral wishes years later). Perhaps you could finance something similar.
I'm very sorry for what happened to your parent.
I want to offer my sincere condolences for your loss. May your loved one Rest In Peace.
I sincerely hope that you can find peace after such an unsettling experience.
