Judith Zbiegniewicz spent a night on the streets, moved into a shelter and finally found affordable housing on her own.
A judge ordered NYGS to return $ 5,400 to her for years of unpaid care and oversight.
The company billed her monthly but provided “minimal services, if any” for years , including at the height of the pandemic.
Zbiegniewicz credited ProPublica 's investigation for the judge’s action in her case.
But she also noted it took years of sustained protest on her part, a level of persistence that many ailing and elderly New Yorkers in guardianship cannot manage.
“Maybe somebody will see and maybe somewhere, down the line, somebody will do something about it.”.
