Thousands Of Elder Abuse Reports ever Investigated In Person « WCCO | CBS Minnesota

Thousands of allegations of elderly abuse and neglect at Minnesota nursing homes are never investigated in person.
Sen. Jim Abeler was stunned when he heard the statistics from the
Minnesota Department of Health’s Office of Health Facility Complaints.
Maltreatment allegations, self-reported by providers, rose dramatically
from 3,600 in 2010 to more than 24,000 in 2016. Only 2 percent of those
were investigated in person last year. And less than 10 percent of
complaint allegations from the public had on-site investigations.Thousands Of Elder Abuse Reports ever Investigated In Person « WCCO | CBS Minnesota
