The Alvin A. Dubin Alzheimer’s Resource Center plans to establish an elder abuse coalition in Lee County thanks to a national grant.
The grant was awarded by the National Center on Elder Abuse, National Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse.
The Dubin Alzheimer’s Resource Center is developing a plan to start initiatives for the coalition. Law enforcement agencies and human service providers are slated to participate.
Lee Elder Abuse Prevention Partnership aims to promote awareness of abuse, neglect, and exploitation of older adults and provide services, advocacy, and support.
About 24 percent of Lee residents are 65 or older, the center says.
The Dubin office is at 10051 McGregor Boulevard, Suite 101, in Ft. Myers. For information, call 437-3007.
