OZARK, Mo. (KY3) - Missouri Lieutenant Governor David Wasinger visited Christian County as part of a statewide tour called “Protect our Seniors.”
The tour raises awareness about elder abuse prevention, connects families with resources, and provides an opportunity for Missourians to share their challenges directly. The stop featured presentations from experts, opportunities to connect with local service providers, and listening sessions designed to shape future policy and enforcement priorities.
“There’s a widespread abuse that takes place among seniors,” said Lt. Gov. Wasinger. “You know, you could have memory care units. There’s physical abuse, there’s emotional abuse. There could be financial fraud. So they need somewhere to turn to know they’ve got an advocate in the state government. And if we don’t have the answer, we’re going to find the answer for them.”
Lt. Gov. Wasinger says, along with the tour, they’re working with state representatives to pass strong legislation that advocates for our seniors.
