Elder Abuse
Illinois Legislation was passed to expand the Elder Abuse and Neglect Program (now Adult Protective Services Program) to prevent abuse, neglect and financial exploitation of people with disabilities between the ages of 18-59 and seniors. We have provided a few links to learn more about Elder Abuse and how to report it.
