Elder abuse can be reported through many different channels. You may contact local police authorities or state elder abuse hotlines. If the abuse has occurred in a nursing home or care facility, you should inform the administration there.
It’s important to contact a lawyer as well if you anticipate initiating legal action. This is especially true because national and statewide hotlines mostly offer advice and local resources to seek out if available, but can do very little to make hands-on improvements for your situation. On the other hand, a lawsuit can bring about substantial personal benefits.
