National Center on Elder Abuse Resource Center

This cooperative agreement, managed by the Administration for Community Living under the Department of Health and Human Services, establishes the operation of the National Center on Elder Abuse. The primary objective is to enhance the capacity of national, state, and local communities to prevent, identify, and intervene in cases of elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. By focusing on these areas, the initiative aims to ensure that older Americans can maintain their dignity, integrity, and independence. The center achieves its goals by delivering a variety of resources, including web-based materials, downloadable content, and in-person training tailored for both professionals and the general public. These efforts focus on disseminating best practices for responding to elder maltreatment, frauds, and scams, thereby empowering individuals and practitioners to better avoid or stop such occurrences. This opportunity is currently listed as a forecast with Kari Benson serving as the point of contact.
