Elder Abuse Awareness

Abuse and neglect of Seniors is far more common than we may want to think and is a growing national problem. Areas of exploitation often include financial, physical and emotional. Unfortunately, elder abuse is often caused by family members. Please help our growing local Senior community by reporting suspicious issues to 1-800-96-ABUSE (1-800-962-2873). Reports do not reveal your name.

The Northwest Florida Area Agency on Aging, Inc. is a private, non-profit agency supported by the federal Older Americans Act and the State of Florida General Revenue Fund through the Florida Department of Elder Affairs.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Gwen Rhodes, Telephone 850-494-7100 or rhodes@nwflaaa.org.
