Abuse Investigation
Elder Voice receives many calls asking for help, sometimes on specific facilities as individuals and families search for a home. As an informational service to individuals and families, Elder Voice Family Advocates will post a case from the files of the Minnesota Department of Health, Office of Health Facility Complaints. This information highlights the reasons that we are advocating to improve the regulatory laws that will reduce these issues of abuse, neglect and exploitation of elders and vulnerable adults.
