Disabled Hobart man living in squalor

Updated July 18, 2013 11:39:47

A disabled pensioner has been left to live in appalling conditions despite his plight being raised with the State Government more than a year ago.

Editor's note: (July 18) The story broadcast allegations made by a former CBS carer about the care provided to Mr Stefaniw but the ABC did not seek a response from the organisation. Specifically, that CBS clients have not been assessed for their care needs and CBS does not understand the conditions their clients live in. CBS advise the ABC that Mr Stefaniw’s case has been regularly assessed and reviewed and the organisation works collaboratively with other care providers. Mr Stefaniw’s house is cleaned regularly, and he is consulted about regular domestic assistance.
