Scioto County Sheriff’s Deputies provided assistance to an Adult Protective Services worker to help an elderly man in a desperate situation.
Portsmouth Ambulance workers had just visited the elderly man in a room in the Roadway Inn and reported he was sitting in feces and urine and not being cared for by his two caretakers. The medics also reported that the caretakers were very belligerent with the EMTs.
An officer met up with the worker and stood by as an ambulance was dispatched to the scene.
Any concerned citizen should report suspected situations of elder abuse, neglect, or exploitation to their County Departments of Job and Family Services.
