Elder and Senior Abuse Resources

Family, Friends, Neighbors: Be Alert to Elder Abuse

Physical and emotional mistreatment, neglect, and caretaker scams can affect many seniors with few, if any, warning signs.  Stand up for yourselves, your friends and family.  Let's all be keenly aware of the signs of abuse. 


Exploitation, indifference and wrongdoing of seniors is experienced by about 1 in 10 people aged 60 and older who live at home.  In community settings, nursing homes and long-term care facilities, that number is even higher.   Here are some informative websites to help you get started:


Elder Justice


Nursing Home Neglect


National Domestic Violence Hotline


National Institute on Aging


CDC - Elder Abuse


World Health Organization Facts


Let's all help one another!!
