She continues to resist the transfer, grabbing at the side rails of the stretcher, crying, and saying, “They’ll hurt me again!” TableResources related to care of older and vulnerable adults Resource Web site The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program, Adult Protective Services, and State Survey and Certification Agency www.theconsumervoice.org/get_help Eldercare Locator www.eldercare.acl.gov National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care www.theconsumervoice.org National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Resource Center www.ltcombudsman.org National Center on Elder Abuse https://ncea.acl.gov/ National Sexual Violence Resource Center www.nsvrc.org National Adult Protective Services Association www.napsa-now.org Open table in a new tab Joan Somes, Member, Greater Twin Cities Chapter, is Critical Care Educator, Regions Hospital EMS, St. Paul, MN.
