ELDER ABUSE - MICHIGAN
More than 73,000 older adults in Michigan are victims of elder abuse. They experience abuse, neglect, and exploitation. The symptoms and treatment of elder abuse are complex and demand a concerted effort to tackle this often unrecognized and unreported social problem. That’s why we brought together dozens of different organizations to work collaboratively to tackle the challenge.
THE NATIONAL CENTER ON ELDER ABUSE
(302) 831-3525
The National Center on Elder Abuse is a program of the federal Area Agency on Aging (AOA). The website offers information on the types of elder abuse, and national and state resources on elder abuse.
