Elder Abuse Services


Everyone deserves to feel safe at home. We provide crisis intervention, case management, counseling, legal advocacy, emergency assistance, food and resource connections for older adults and dependent adult victims of crime. Recently, an elderly woman met with a CRC Advocate after experiencing many years of abuse and neglect. With help meeting basic needs, emotional support and advocacy, she is now safe and rebuilding her life.
