Comments about ‘Measure seeks to alter definition of 'emotional abuse'’

What about when they are abused by the staff that works there? I know it happens and I know people that it has happened to.

There is a problem in Adult Service Department (death camps) and its lead management. He seems to think that care, comfort, and treatment of the elderly is not his job. He has other more important things to worry about, filing fraudulent insurance claims, pilfering and plundering funds from the department are his greater ambitions.

Redefining abuse means he is having a problem managing his department, the employees and doing his job. You don't need a written definition to know and see when abuse is happening. Adult care in Utah is abominable and I challenge this state to get more involved and not pass it off as an issue of definitions.

All you have to do is visit one of the adult health care death camps and the deplorable abuse if obvious. They hire and employ illegal aliens who cannot speak the English language and communicate with the elderly who can't speak Spanish or Spanglish. The elderly have been turned over to a foreign management and language. The physical abuse of adults left to go hungry, eat spoiled food, littered floors, rooms and beds, help lights illuminated for hours at a time.

Holmgren is the problem.
