Elder abuse agencies reject cases experts say they should investigate as Pa. scales back oversight
An Allegheny County agency in Pennsylvania rejected a case involving a 65-year-old woman living in a structurally compromised home, despite initial assessments indicating imminent risk. Experts and former specialists criticized the decision, citing systemic failures in the state's elder abuse oversight system, which has reduced direct monitoring of such cases.
