Anyone who suspects that an older person is being mistreated by another should call one of the following numbers: The Department on Aging’s Senior HelpLine at 1-800-252-8966 (Voice and TTY) during regular business hours (8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Monday through Friday); The Department on Aging’s After-Hours Elder Abuse Hotline at 1-800-279-0400 (5:00 p.m. to 8:30 a.m.;Monday through Friday; and weekend and holiday hours); Elder Abuse and Neglect Program services are provided through local agencies which are designated by the Area Agency on Aging and the Department on Aging. All elder abuse caseworkers are trained and certified by the Department, which also promulgates the Program’s policies and procedures and oversees the monitoring of services through the Area Agencies on Aging.
