Elder Abuse

Nearly two dozen criminal charges were announced Thursday against the operator of three San Diego independent-living facilities, who prosecutors say neglected his clients, and was running the facilities despite previously being banned by the state from doing so.

A 94-year-old man was attacked and killed in San Francisco Monday morning, police said.

She was hired to take care of elderly and disabled people, but Shirley Montano made them her prisoners.

A caregiver was sentenced for the death of a 74-year-old woman in her care. NBC 7’s Allison Ash has details.

A San Diego caregiver accused of kidnapping and abusing elderly clients and extorting them for social security benefit checks changed her plea to guilty Friday.
