The Honorable Josephine Pon, Minister of seniors
Rm. 423 Legislature Building, Edmonton, AB. Via email letter

 

Dear Honourable Ministers:

 

REFERENCE: CAPACITY ASSESSMENT TRANSCRIPTION

 
We continue to receive reports of seniors who are being unlawfully detained.
We are attaching for your information, a ten page account of an unlawful
detention, titled “Unlawfully Detained” (Dora Cinciruk)

Capacity assessments prepared under the Adult Guardianship and
Trusteeship Act may strip the senior of all civil and human rights. These
assessments are often trivial and not well researched.

 
REMEDY SOUGHT
 

We are respectfully calling on our Government to legislate that all capacity assessments must be recorded and transcribed.

The proposed legislation should require that a Certified Realtime Reporter must be present, to transcribe the entire assessment. When completed, the Reporter should make the certified transcription directly available to the assessed senior.

Alberta citizens, are being preyed on and abused by the present protocol.
We would be grateful to be in receipt of your response by December 20, 2019.
Yours truly,

Elder Advocates of Alberta Society (1992)

PETER MACK Presenter Bill and Mary Pellech, Edmonton, AB.
2006, Peter Mack who was grieving the loss of his wife, mixed pills which were not in a dossette with alcohol. He suffered delerium and was detained at the Royal Alex. The first night he was given a mini- mental test and scored 19/30.
He has been detained behind locked doors for close to three years. This is a horror story of massive proportions. He is not incompetent. He says that he is like a prisoner of war. MOST VISITORS ARE BARRED INCLUDING HIS OLD PASTOR. We are barred by the guardians, his children..
