National Elder Abuse Awareness Day

If you suspect someone you know is being abused or neglected, don't let your fear of meddling in someone else's business stop you from reporting your suspicions. Your first step should be to try and talk with the older adult when the two of you are alone. Where to go if you need help? Every state has a service designated to receive and investigate allegations of elder abuse and neglect, also known as Adult Protective Services. In addition, the Eldercare Locator is a nationwide service sponsored by the U.S. Administration on Aging that connects older Americans and their caregivers with information on services for older adults.

As a Senior Living Advisor, we take this issue seriously. Our mission is to make sure our loved ones are placed into safe, loving, healthy communities or that the very best, caring caregivers are entering their home. If you are needing a change to make sure your loved one is safe, please call 402.305.8195.
