Older adults are more vulnerable and less able to protect themselves from those that might abuse or exploit them. If you suspect elder abuse or exploitation has occurred, or is occurring, you should contact the police. Many police departments have officers and investigators specially trained to detect and investigate elder abuse. If you do not get the response you believe is appropriate, it may help to contact the department again and ask if there is someone that deals with elder abuse that you can speak with.
