1:45:58Now PlayingThe Senate Aging and Long Term Care Committee dedicated a hearing Wednesday, February 21, to hear from families impacted by abuse at senior care facilities.
Irene McCormick fought back tears as she described finding her mother passed out in her room, and her call for a nurse to help went unnoticed, causing her to dial 911. "The paramedics arrived in her room with a stretcher before anyone came into her room," she said.
The public hearing marked the third in a series of committee meetings focusing on the issue of elder abuse. In the past several weeks, Governor Dayton's administration assigned the Department of Human Services to assist the Department of Health in investigating the numerous backlog of abuse complaints. The committee is scheduling future meetings, including securing testimony from senior care providers.
