A man and a woman from Holmesville have been charged with domestic violence offences, after allegedly failing to provide health care to an elderly man.
Following a report to the Elder Abuse Hotline, police and medical professionals went to a home in George Street in December last year.
They found an 80-year-old man to be underweight and undernourished.
He also hadn’t received treatment for diabetes and prostate cancer since January 2014.
A 46-year-old man and 49-year-old woman were charged this week, and will face Toronto Local Court on March 25.
The elderly man is now caring for himself with the assistance of aged care services.
