Elder abuse is the mistreatment or harming of an older person. Our mission is to promote the safety, financial security, and social health of our Indian people through Adult Protective Services of elder and vulnerable adults.

Imagine surviving to old age, only to experience abuse in later life. Elder abuse effects people of all backgrounds regardless of race, religion, social status or income level. We need your help in the fight to end it. Elder abuse typically has multiple causes. These include mental health problems in the abuser, medical problems in the victim, and other external factors such as poverty or substance abuse. No one professional working alone can single-handedly end elder abuse. It takes a team of people from fields like medicine, law, social work, housing and other areas working together to problem-solve. It starts with us knowing and identifying the signs and types of abuse.
