MINISTER OF STATE FOR SENIORS -
OTTAWA, ONTARIO
Contrary to media advertising and "awareness" to the plight of the elderly, when reporting senior abuse, the victim is shuffled from one government agency to another.
The end result, invariably, is to be directed to obtain the services of a lawyer, which the majority of fixed-income abused seniors can ill-afford.
Therefore, the elderly abuse epidemic continues...To date, there is no one organization which will investigate individual complaints of elder abuse.
Elder abuse - it's time to face this reality!
