Mission Statement

The NYC Elder Abuse Center aims to prevent abuse and assist people 60 and over who are abused or at risk of abuse - as well as their family members, friends, neighbors, caregivers, and witnesses. We do this by helping to improve how professionals, organizations and systems respond to their needs – and by developing direct services to meet unmet needs.

NYCEAC’s Core Services

  • Develop innovative solutions to elder abuse, neglect and exploitation.
  • Coordinate and facilitate multidisciplinary teams.
  • Provide case consultations to professionals assisting victims of elder abuse.
  • Access hard-to-find specialists for MDTs and case consultations.
  • Raise awareness through 1:1 conversations, workshops and in-service trainings.
  • Engage professionals and others through the Elder Justice Dispatch Blog and other social media vehicles.

Vision Statement

We envision a caring community in which all older adults love with dignity and well-being, free from abuse, neglect and financial exploitation.
