World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
Friday June 16, 2018 from 10:00-12:00 p.m.
Reaching the golden years should be a time to enjoy life with family and friends and not  time of fear or worry. Financial exploitation – by a family member, caregiver, or scammer- is a common way that our older family members are taken advantage of: unpaid bills, new credit cards or unusual purchases might be signs of financial abuse. If you believe you or a loved one might be a victim, please call Fresno County Adult Protective Services at (559)-600-3383 or Madera County Adult Protective Services at (559)-675-7839. If you suspect abuse of an elder resigning in a license care facility, please call the Fresno-Madera Long Term Care Ombudsman Program at (559)-224-9177

To Learn more about the effects of elder abuse in Fresno and Madera Counties, please plan on attending the World Elder Abuse Awareness Event.
