New Website for National Center on Elder Abuse Includes Resources for Caregivers
The U.S. Administration on Aging (AoA) introduced a new website for its National Center on Elder Abuse. The redesigned website provides local resources for caregivers, information about how to find help if you are worried about a senior in your community, and definitions, signs and risks of elder mistreatment. The website includes a database of promising practices related to elder abuse prevention, intervention, and public education and other statistics and research. The Center "is committed to helping national, state, and local partners in the field be fully prepared to ensure that older Americans will live with dignity, integrity, independence, and without abuse, neglect, and exploitation." For more information, visit:
National Center on Elder Abuse

If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or the local police for immediate help.
