In Nova Scotia, all adults who are receiving care from a hospital or licensed care facility have the legally protected right to an investigation following a report of abuse. The Protection for Persons in Care Act (PPCA) “requires facility administrators and service providers, including staff and volunteers, to promptly report all allegations or instances of abuse.” Anyone can report abuse by calling 1-800-225-7335.
After a report is filed, it will be carefully reviewed to determine if an investigator needs to be formally assigned to the case. If so, the investigator may conduct interviews with all involved parties, review records and documents, consult experts, and take any other necessary investigative steps. The investigator will then make a report, and if it’s determined that abuse did happen, directives and sanctions may be issued to the care facility.
