Forevercare Associates -- New Company Provides Discreet Investigation of Elder Abuse and Neglect

In today's ever growing geriatric population, the need for elder care services is expanding. With the realization that state agencies are overworked, understaffed and cannot monitor the care of each and every resident in a nursing home on a regular basis, there is a new company offering a service to family members of individuals who are in the care of others. Forevercare Associates offers a thorough monitoring service that conducts discreet, periodic safety, care and well-being assessments on elderly patients. Forevercare also provides monitoring of home healthcare situations to help prevent the domestic abuse that is a growing problem among the elderly today and provides advice on protecting familial assets and property during periods where home healthcare is needed.

Forevercare Associates Owner and CEO, Barry Smoot, decided to develop Forevercare Associates based on requests he was getting from clients asking him to check on their relatives in nursing homes. Smoot's extensive background in the legal system as a state investigator in Illinois provided him the experience to investigate elder care abuse and neglect. Smoot has seen his share of corruption, abuse, and misconduct, whether it be among judges at a high level in the court system, or the neglect and exploitation of mentally challenged adults and children. Smoot decided to channel his experience to help families whose loved ones are in the care of others or at the mercy of state institutions by developing Forevercare Associates.

"I've been doing this for almost three years now. I enjoy helping people and seeing the resolutions I can give them or the peace of mind I can give them," said Smoot. "This is something I would like to do until I'm in a nursing home. I've always had a heart for the vulnerable elderly population and others who are in a situation of helplessness."

Smoot prides himself in the team that he has assembled to represent Forevercare Associates. His associates are all highly trained in their field and like Smoot, have years of experience. Each one of Forevercare's associates has more than twenty years of professional experience in matters relating to abuse, neglect and financial exploitations of vulnerable populations. Some examples of services that Forevercare Associates has provided include: A husband retained them to watch over his wife in a nursing home to ensure she was being provided proper care. A daughter retained the services of Forevercare Associates to monitor and stop other family members from financially exploiting her mother. A terminally ill parent retained Forevercare to monitor the care his mentally disabled adult child was receiving in a residential facility, and these are but a few.

One of Smoot's clients comments, "I would recommend Barry Smoot and his highly experienced team at Forevercare to anyone in need. Barry was able to stabilize a very stressful family situation. He goes above and beyond the call of duty. I live 1,500 miles away from my mother, and I rest so much easier now that I know she is under his watchful eye. I trust him implicitly."

Forevercare Associates, is a company dedicated to the well-being and protection of those who are part of the nursing home and home health populations, providing a much-needed and hard-to-find service to families with loved ones who are at the mercy of these institutions and caregivers. "I feel like I've been led here from day one, honestly," says Smoot, "I'm proud to be able to help."
