About four dozen protesters converged on a Houston area nursing home this afternoon demanding the release of a senior citizen.

They're protesting that 87 year old Doris Davis, who is at La Hacienda Rehabilitation Center, was placed in the Adult Protective Services system back in 2014.

This is after Harris County records show she called her doctor about a headache and it turned out to be a stroke and 911 had to be called to get her to the hospital. 

Davis was taken into the guardianship program after the courts found she was unfit to live in her southeast home because she was diagnosed with dementia and lacked family support.

At that time there were no family members who would or lacked a clean criminal background to provide for the senior according to Adult Protective Services.

A letter submitted by a niece of Davis says the guardianship program is the best place for the senior because her home was in disrepair and she was being taken advantage of by a relative.

She painted a picture of the senior paying $10,000 for repairs to a relative and the work wasn't done and her accounts being used to buy furniture that couldn't be located in her home.

A doctor for Davis also said the 87 year old complained about a certain relative in her home who was taking advantage of her.

But protesters bulk at those claims saying the senior should be at home anyway and she could live by herself according to Kofi Taharka of the National Black United Front.

The county has ordered another medical evaluation of Doris Davis and there is a hearing on that issue next week.
