About
Every year an estimated 2.1 million older Americans are victims of some form of abuse. Thus our primary goal here at the Senior Awareness & Legacy Foundation Community Development Corporation is to create conscious awareness outrage and public accountability regarding these five areas of violence: Physical Abuse, Sexual Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Financial Abuse and Neglect Abuse taking place throughout our nation against Senior Citizens.
If you observe or know of any type of neglect or abuse of the elderly, please contact the local police department immediately to ensure our "aged" are receiving the proper care and protection needed.
For more information on the statistics on elderly/senior abuse go to the National Center on Elder Abuse website:www.ncea.aoa.gov or contact the Administration on Aging:www.aoa.gov
To report suspected abuse, contact your local adult protective services agency. For state reporting numbers, call the Eldercare Locator at
1-800-677-1116.
We believe all people deserve to be safe.
