Support groups and system changes are just two ways discussed to minimize elder abuse. We also continue our discussion of sex. June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, and the Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging can link you to, or help you organize, a small group conversation about this topic during the week of June 11. Lori McGinnis, regional director of the ombudsman program for the agency, shares insights with host Cynthia Margiotta. The ombudsman helps make sure elders are aware of their rights. If there are issues with an assisted living or long term care facility, an ombudsman is the one to call for help.
To contact the ombudsman: Lori McGinnis: 719-471-7080 ext. 132 lmcginnis@ppacg.org
