Virel Maxwell Avondale Nursing Home, Jamaica Home Attendant borrowed money from client, has not met with us in 3 years Brooklyn, New York

Virel Maxwell worked for my parents as a home attendant in Brooklyn, NY, first caring for my mother, then for my father after my mother passed away in 2002. My father passed away in October, 2007, at the age of 93.

Virel told me and my wife that my father had asked her to repay investments he had made in a nursing home that she owns in Jamaica (Avondale Nursing Home, 28 Avondale Road, Spanish Town, Jamaica). I asked how much this would be and Virel said she would find out when she got a chance to go thru her records.

I was surprised to hear about these investments since my wife and I had met with Henni Fisher who originally referred Virel to my parents (in her role as leader of an Alzheimer's and aging resources center) February 12, 2000 (and paid $100 for the meeting) and we thought she would tell them to stop the financial dealings. Later, when I asked her about what she told them, she didnt remember the meeting at all.

A week after the funeral, Virel returned to Jamaica to take care of a sick relative, and was delayed in returning to the US due to the Jamaican government wanting "DNA information about her granddaughter".

She told me she would meet with me when she got back to NY, and that would be "soon". In the last three years I have been able to reach her by phone 3 or 4 times and each time she said that our lawyers would meet. Still there has been no meeting.

Meanwhile, my father's lawyer recently wrote to me: "the only thing I know about the investment is that your dad told me about it being a mistake and he wished he never did it".
