Share Your Story
We encourage you to share your stories.
Not every elderly person in our community is well cared for. We want to hear your concerns.
Elder abuse and/or neglect is an intentional action that results in harm or creates a significant risk of harm (whether or not harm is intended) to an elder (defined as age 60 or older) by a caregiver or any other person the elder trusts. This includes a failure to protect the elderly individual from harm and/or meet his or her basic needs. Learn more about how to recognize elder abuse and how to report your concerns.
