How It Works

We make sure every person, place or thing does right by you

**Tell us what happened**

A Person (did what to you)

Let us handle a family member, close friend, caregiver, or even doctor who deliberately interferes with your peace of mind.

**Tell us what happened**

A Place (did what to you)

When doing business online, by phone, or in person, your rights as a consumer, human, or patient should not be questioned or violated.

**Tell us what happened**

A Thing (did what to you)

In the past, things were simple to use, but today, the car, wheel chair, and even a cell phone - can get on your last nerve.

How It Works

Frequently Asked Questions

How does your organization handle emergencies or urgent cases of senior mistreatment

In cases of emergency or urgent mistreatment, we prioritize immediate action by contacting the appropriate authorities or emergency services. Our Advocates work swiftly to assess the situation and ensure the senior's safety while providing guidance to family members or caregivers on the next steps.

For medical emergencies, we urge anyone to call 911 immediately. While our Advocates can provide support, guidance, and follow-up during and after the incident, immediate medical attention should always take priority. Once the situation is stabilized, we work closely with healthcare providers and authorities to ensure the senior's ongoing safety and care.

How are Advocates assigned to work with individual seniors or families

Advocates are assigned based on the senior’s specific needs, the nature of the issue, and the expertise of our team members. We strive to match seniors with advocates who have experience in similar situations, ensuring the best possible support throughout the process.

What specific services do our senior advocates provide‍

Senior advocates offer a range of services, including healthcare navigation, legal advice, housing placement assistance, and assistance with financial matters. They can also provide emotional support and act as a liaison between seniors, families, and service providers.

How do you handle situations where a senior is unable or unwilling to report mistreatment themselves

If a senior is unable or unwilling to report mistreatment, our Advocates can still intervene if a family member, caregiver, or concerned individual contacts us. We work sensitively to understand the situation and ensure the senior's well-being while respecting their autonomy and privacy.
