Shockingly, elder abuse is a fairly common problem in the United States today.  According to the AARP Bulletin Today, there were “nearly 566,000 reports of elder abuse…made nationally in 2003, almost 20 percent more than in 2000.”

The bulletin provides readers with a list of elder abuse resources by state.  Click here for the article and list of resources.

Other resources include:

The National Center on Elder Abuse 1.800.677.1116.

The National Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse
