I Know a Lady Who Runs an Assisted Living Facility in Her House.?

Question by : I know a lady who runs an assisted living facility in her house.?
[rewrite]One of the residents has Parkinson’s disease and the owner has Power of Attorney for the resident. He has no family and has almost no function of is body or is lucid for very long. He doesn’t have much longer to live and has lived in her house as a resident for almost twenty years. I just found out that she has activated many credit cards and has put him in horrible debt, which is illegal. Her son is a teenager and uses and sells drugs which I am sure he has inside the house. She has left them with unqualified caregivers who don’t give medications properly and even one who has abused the residents. One of her residents’ recently passed away and I heard that she had two women who were her other son’s girlfriends watching the residents while she was out of town. The lady had a stroke in the morning and neither of the women who were supposedly watching the residents felt any need to call the owner or for medical help and resident showed visible signs of having a stroke, they left her alone in her room ignored. Is there a way to anonymously report the owner? How would someone go about doing this in the State of Maryland…please help! Thank you
