An ABC 7 I-Team investigation is getting results for residents of the state's assisted living facilities.
A state Senate committee takes up a bill Tuesday to ensure county conservatees are allowed to have visitors freely.
It seems like something that should be a basic right, being allowed to see family and friends whenever you want. But, one Bay Area public guardian severely restricted access to some of their clients. It even called the police after I tried to visit. Now, that's changing.

Yahooooo! Thank you once again, ABC7 and Linda Kincaid!
KGO-TV San Francisco CA: Gisela is a new woman!!! Deep appreciation to NASGA Advocacy Liaison Linda Kincaid and ABC 7 I-Team Dan Noyes for their dedication to exposing the truth, for being a strong voice for Gisela who was isolated and silenced. Gisela is one of many wards in California, Tennessee, Illinois, Florida, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, Washington DC, Virginia, Ohio.....Isolation along with loss of all rights is inhumane cruel treatment, a national disgrace affecting wards in all 50 states. Thank you.
Praying the bill passes....and ABC7 did another quality report.
Congratulations NASGA. Linda Kincaid is a real asset to your organization and the cause. And ABC can't be beat!
What an impressive report! And what a change of attitude for Lee Pullen. He's working hard at damage control but what he should be doing is reprimanding the Santa Clara County Public Guardian.
I am so glad to see Gisela Riordan smile. All she wanted was her son and some human companionship and now, thanks to Dan Noyes, she's got both!
Hats off, a standing ovation, and a country-wide "wave" to ABC7, Dan Noyes, Linda Kincaid, and NASGA!
Really great work and great news.
This is just the best thing I've seen all day. Thank you so much for posting this report. I am one of the advocates who called o/b/o Gisela and got the cold shoulder to go with the "no."
The tide has turned.
