Elder Abuse

Indiana law requires reporting of suspected abuse, self-neglect or exploitation of dependent adults.  Call the 24-hour, toll-free Adult Abuse Hotline or your local Adult Protective Services office to make a report.  The report will be investigated, legal action will be taken (if necessary) and services for the victim will be coordinated.  Reports can be made anonymously.  Emergency situations should be reported directly to the police and medical help summoned if necessary.
