Today on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, we stand with older adults and the communities that support them. Every older adult deserves to age with dignity, respect, and the freedom to live safely and independently. Abuse, neglect, and exploitation can often go unnoticed, making awareness and advocacy more important than ever.
At Senior Transportation Connection, we know that reliable transportation does more than get someone from one place to another—it helps older adults access healthcare, stay engaged in their communities, maintain their independence, and remain connected to trusted people and resources.
If you suspect elder abuse, don’t ignore the signs. Speaking up could make all the difference. Suspected abuse can be reported to Cuyahoga County Division of Senior and Adult Services at 216-420-6700. Their Adult Protective Services hotline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
