Elder Rights Protection
While conditions for older Americans have improved markedly since the initial passage of the Older Americans Act, the independence of many elderly is still threatened by abusive situations ranging from financial exploitation to severe neglect. For others, independence is hindered by limited financial resources, disability, and lack of information on rights and benefits. To help address these issues, AoA administers a number of Vulnerable Elder Rights Programs that provide important protections against threats to the independence, well being, and financial security of seniors.
