Project Veritas Uncovers Elderly Abuse In Washington [Video]

Simon Daily 0 1 min read

It used to be that our society respected our elders and treated them with dignity, especially those in nursing homes. But time and time again we are seeing that it is not the case. Whistleblowers went to Project Veritas to reveal the horrible practices of fraud, abuse, and neglect that are happening at Washington’s Aegis Living.

“In a new video from investigative journalism outlet Project Veritas, two former employees of the facility, healthcare insiders Cassandra Renner and Jonathan Schlect, laid out the allegations against the facility.

Renner, who worked as a medical technician at Aegis Living, outlined cases of abuse against the patients at the facility, as well as rampant cases of forgery on care documents.”I came to Project Veritas because I believe that Aegis Living is grossly taking advantage of severely vulnerable adults through fraud on care plans,” Renner said.

Renner said that the facility is facing a severe staff shortage, in which “We can probably, on a good day, get about 50% of what these people are paying for done.”

“I don’t think that the neglect is coming directly from the care managers, as much as it is coming from the facility making the choice to be short-staffed,” she said.

Averi Robinson, an associate care director at Aegis Living, said that those remaining in their positions cannot be fired because they physically need the bodies: “The people we do have are there [at Aegis Living] because we need a heartbeat and not because they’re actually capable caregivers…They [Aegis Living] literally cannot afford to fire any of us. If we have anything, it’s job security.”

And it looks like they are already being sued over it right now. When they were contacted about these allegations they said they can’t talk about the issues related to an active court case…I hope the judge throws the book at this company. There is no good reason for this.
