“We wanted to emphasize that elder abuse happens every day, everywhere in the City, and that it ‘hits close to home,’ as the ads say,” explains Resnick. “We wanted people to understand that you don’t have to be in a nursing home, or be poor or have dementia to be an elder abuse victim. Because elder abuse is so often perpetrated by family members, anyone is vulnerable. And we wanted to get the message across that it could be happening to a neighbor, a friend, to their own older relative.” More →
Ways to Give
The NYC Elder Abuse Center depends on different sources of revenue to retain its status as a go-to place for professionals for information about elder abuse, consultation on complex cases and technical assistance on program development - and for bringing together professionals from across disciplines, organizations and systems to develop innovative solutions to the problem of elder abuse, neglect and exploitation. A major source of support is philanthropy from those who have come to know our work. We are truly grateful to our supporters.
