Elder Justice Act Moves Forward
A bill in the U.S. Senate would provide more federal oversight of crimes against elders who rely on a healthcare provider. The Elder Justice Act of 2006 would create a variety of programs, including:
- an Office of Elder Justice in the Department of Health and Human Services
- an Office of Elder Justice in the Department of Justice
- a federal database of data collected nationally regarding elder abuse
- reporting crimes in federally funded nursing homes and other facilities
