Our Mistreatment Prevention Programs

A 365 safety net

We prevent neglect, abuse, and fraud by equipping seniors, families and caregivers with tools and knowledge to ensure a safe and respectful environment.

Education & Awareness

Our "Education & Awareness" program is crucial in preventing and recognizing elder abuse, neglect, and fraud. We conduct online workshops, distribute materials in local nursing facilities, and implement media campaigns to extend our reach. Our efforts equip the community with essential tools and knowledge to safeguard elders, promoting a culture of vigilance and respect.

Empowerment

Our "Empowerment" program directly contributes to reducing elder mistreatment by boosting seniors' confidence to act independently and securely. By equipping them with skills and knowledge in self-defense, financial management, legal rights, and technology use, we help them stand firm against potential abuses.

Reporting Assistance

Our "Reporting Assistance" program makes it easier for seniors and their communities to report elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation. We've set up a 24/7 hotline and a straightforward online portal for reporting, helping more people feel comfortable coming forward with information about mistreatment.

Community Support

Our "Community Support" program reaches seniors and their caregivers right where they are - in local nursing facilities and libraries. By meeting seniors in familiar places, we enhance our outreach and help foster a supportive community network. Additionally, we emphasize accountability and punishment for mistreatment, advocating for strict enforcement of laws and supporting legal reforms to ensure offenders face appropriate consequences.

How do you evaluate the effectiveness of your programs in improving seniors' quality of life

We evaluate the effectiveness of our programs through regular assessments, feedback from participants and their families, and measurable outcomes such as improvements in health, social engagement, and overall well-being. This data helps us refine and enhance our programs continuously.
