If you are an older adult (or know one) being mistreated—abused, neglected, or financially controlled—this is not your fault. This is a crime.
You have a right to safety, respect, and independence. The fear and isolation around elder abuse are real, but you do not have to carry them alone.
Your power comes from making 1 confidential call. You are choosing your own dignity and safety.
This isn't just about physical harm. Emotional abuse and financial theft are just as serious. There is help waiting.
