The Commissioner must investigate elderly abuse reports by visiting the elderly person, consulting wither persons that are knowledgeable about the case, and conducting a private interview with the elderly person unless the elderly person refuses to consent or it is not in their best interests to conduct the interview.
The Department of Social Services must establish a registry to house elderly abuse reports, investigation reports, and findings reports.
Connecticut does not classify client files, elderly abuse reports, and investigation reports as public records and exempts these reports from the Freedom of Information Act (1-210). The identities of the reporting party and persons named in reports may not be disclosed unless the reporting party requests disclosure, the investigation results in a judicial proceeding, or disclosure of the elderly person’s name is necessary to conduct the investigation.
