Abuse is a crime!! Call the Police now! Ask to speak to the Watch Commander tell him or her what is happening...........
Your Local police department will have the information you will need to put an end to this abuse.
Document Document any and all abuse you know of......
Take pictures ( video) Make a journal of everyone you have talked too.Call a lawyer. that takes these cases to court. No one needs to be abuse......Sue, some people do not get it unless you hurt them in their pocket book!
Let the police know you are documenting everything even them....There is all kinds of elderly abuse and you local law enforcement should have the information needed to stop it.
Elderly Abuse comes in different forms

Good luck please do not give up until the person you are thinking about is safe

Answer 2

You local Department of Social Services has a special department for elderly abuse.

Answer 3

FIRST NURSING HOME . ASSISTED LIVING, ELDERLY CENTER, RETIREMENT COMMUNITY ETC.

FILE A POLICE REPORT ABOUT THE ALLEGED ABUSE.

THEY WILL FILE A REPORT WITH SOCIAL SERVICES.

MOST STATES NOW HAVE LAWS AGAINST ABUSE TO THE ELDERLY JUST AS THEY HAVE CHILD ABUSE. MANY CLASS ABUSE OF ELDERLY OVER AGE 60.

Answer 4

It depends on the type of elder abuse.
For physical abuse call 911 immediately.
For financial abuse, call an Elder Attorney, immediately.
For mental or emotional abuse you will need a Mental Health Specialist.

Or
You can call Adult Protective Services. You'll find it in the Government pages in your phone book.
Or
You can call the Agency on Aging National Hotline at 1-800-510-2020. Your call will be directed to the office nearest you. There are people in that office that can help you or give you a referral to the proper agency, but I think they will be able to help given the situation. They have Case Managers that do this type of thing and follow-up.

Answer 5

Report to your local Human Services.

They should have a unit for the elderly.

Call the police and they will investigate along with Human Services.

Keep it quiet. . . .what I mean is don't let the abuser know what you are going to do because you don't want him to know who reported.

It is imminent that you report right away.

In my state it is against the law, not to report abuse of any kind.

You must do it now before more damage is done.

Very good question.

Answer 6

The Adult Protective Services division of your local human/social services department. Should you not be able to find that department, check into the Office on Aging...OR call the police who do know to whom to report it.

Answer 7

There should be links in the phone book. Look under state, city and federal programs. They can talk you through your problems mostly over the phone after getting all the information they need. Don't wait for you problems to escalate either, do it now. The more you wait the worse the problem will be.

Answer 8

maximum States have grownup conserving centers software in each County this is a branch of the dept of Social centers or branch of Human centers or the like. in the event that they do no longer look to be related, Social centers can assist you to realize who to call. touch them and that they are going to take a checklist. that's a mandated software and that they'd desire to persist with up on the checklist via regulation. The huge type must be listed under "County" Depts on your telephone e book.

Answer 9

Visit www.aarp.com, look for the link to report abuse. Or visit your local police and ask them. They will give you good info.
