Well, the main problem with this is you'd have to find
someone who would agree to quietly living out those 13
or 14 years in secret until it came back around to
where they were before using the Time Turner. 
Remember, Harry and Hermione didn't use the TT, fix
what needed to be fixed, and then use it again to go
back to when they were.  They had to fully live those
three hours again.  

So the limitations on use of the TT would be however
many times you want to stand there turning it (and it
would take a *lot* of turns to go back even a week,
much less years!), plus you'd have to relive all that
time before getting back.  And you couldn't run into
your past self at all or change the past.

Hmm...maybe the Ministry has a special safehouse used
by people waiting out their TT time. :)
