[Fredslist] Friend needs advice on nursing home situation re her spouse

[Beth Silver]

Anne:

Have your friend give Jack Halpern a call. He is an expert is all things nursing home and elder advocate related and he was extremely helpful to me and my family in matters concerning my grandmother health which in our case led to elder abuse. Without Jack's assistance, I can not imagine what else would have happened. So that you don't need to look anything up, Jack's information is as follows: Jack Halpern jhalpern at myelderadvocate.com
(212) 945-7550
