STOP ELDER ABUSE
Elder abuse can happen to anyone. Many victims are people who are older, frail, and vulnerable, who cannot help themselves and depend on others to meet their most basic needs. Abusers of older adults are both women and men, may be family members, friends, or “trusted others.”
AARP Foundation ElderWatch Colorado is a program with the Colorado Attorney General and AARP Foundation whose mission is to ensure that no older adults are left to suffer, alone and in silence, at the hands of those who exploit them. The program fights the financial exploitation of older Coloradans through education and outreach, data collection, and the providing of assistance. Report fraud or financial exploitation:
Monday ~ Thursday 9:00AM to 3:00PM
Friday 9:00AM to 1:00PM
