'Home Health Aides from Hell'

Poor Background Checks, Absence of Fingerprinting
Requirements Place Millions of Nation's Elderly in Danger 

Jack Halpern is the CEO of the New York City-based My Elder Advocate, LLC. As its name suggests, the organization provides advocacy services and helps seniors with issues such as eviction prevention, nursing home and hospital crisis intervention, nursing home or assisted living placement and long term care planning. Mr. Halpern joins me to explain why abuse by home health aides has reached a crisis point in New York, as well as other sections of the country, and what can be done to address the problem.
