Social workers and nurses from the Resource Center’s elder abuse investigation unit investigate reports of abuse and neglect to determine if the elder person or any other person involved in the situation is in need of services. They also help coordinate resources and services, make linkages for the elder with other agencies and can offer temporary emergency assistance. Elder abuse investigations begin within 24 hours of the referral, excluding weekends and holidays. Investigations of material abuse begin within 5 days of the referral.
