Join our senior advocacy team of volunteers and make a real difference in the lives of seniors and disabled adults in our community. |
| Advocacy for Senior Crime Victims – The Elder Rights Center of Excellence provides direct assistance to seniors after a crime is reported to law enforcement. Victims receive an array of services in order to assist them to regain their dignity and sense of security and to remain in the least restrictive setting for as long as possible. Our valued Senior Advocacy Volunteers reach out to crime victims to share information and resources and inform seniors of their rights to victim compensation. |
| Crime Prevention – Our staff and volunteers keep track of current scams, trends and prevention tips so we can share them with others. Contact us to schedule a free crime prevention presentation for your group of seniors. Favorite topics include: Frauds and Scams, Holiday Safety, and Preventing Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation. |
| Professional Training – Whether you are a caregiver or just part of a caring community, knowing how to recognize and respond to elder abuse, neglect and exploitation is a necessary skill. The Elder Rights Center of Excellence offers training tailored to the needs of professionals in the law enforcement, health care, senior housing and public service arenas. Contact us to schedule a free training. |
| Public Awareness – Help seniors, their loved ones and caregivers fight back by identifying the most common crimes, tips on how to avoid crimes, and how to report crimes if you have been a victim. Please see our resources below for more information. |
