ELDER ABUSE RESOURCES

Elder abuse can go undetected for years and sometimes victims have very brief contact with the outside world. That one moment victims come in contact with others can make a difference between living a life of abuse or getting help to escape their situation. Learn the signs of elder abuse and report potential abusers to the corresponding agency in your county. It could mean the difference for a victim who may have no one else to help them.
