In October 2009, the Public Health Agency of Canada published its first issue of Elder Abuse E-bulletin, a quarterly e-newsletter for those interested in addressing and preventing the abuse of older adults in Canada.
This e-bulletin is produced by PHAC, as part of its role under the Federal Elder Abuse Initiative (FEAI), in an effort to facilitate and enhance knowledge sharing among key stakeholders on the progress and achievements of PHAC's elder abuse activities.
The PHAC will also use this bulletin as an opportunity to highlight other initiatives, recognizing the multi-sectoral and multidisciplinary nature of a public health approach, which includes consideration of prevention, detection and intervention strategies and their impacts on the determinants of health.
You may subscribe to the e-newsletter at the following link:

I love this post and any attention people spend on bringing nursing home issues to the general public. I'd like to encourage any one to get on www.elderstep.com to write reviews of care facilities they have experience with. Candid reviews from residents are what will help improve conditions for our elderly loved ones!
