18:46Now PlayingSenator Karin Housley, R-St. Marys Point, chair of the Senate Aging and Long-Term Care Policy Committee, along with Senator Michelle Benson, R-Ham Lake, and Senator Carrie Ruud, R-Breezy Point, called a press conference Tuesday, December 12, to press the Dayton administration for a quicker response to the ongoing problem of theft, neglect and abuse in state-licensed senior care facilities.
Senator Housley reported receiving information from the former Director of Health Regulations Division at the Minnesota Department of Health alleging “a toxic culture of bullying, intimidation, harassment and disregard for outside input” as a contributing factor in the high rate of staff turnover in the Office of Health Facility Complaints (OHFC). The lawmakers called on Governor Dayton to address the work environment at the Health Department, provide public meetings of the administration’s newly formed elder-abuse work group and outline potential legislative fixes for consideration in the 2018 legislative session.
