(CLASI), designated for the past 30 years as Delaware’s Protection and Advocacy Agency pursuant to federal law, in protecting patients and residents in nursing and similar facilities. As a complement to the existing protective system operated by the Department of Health and Social Services, CLASI is authorized to solicit and investigate reports of abuse, neglect, mistreatment and financial exploitation in covered facilities. Finally, the Bill deters interference and retaliation against persons cooperating with such investigations.
