💜 Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
Every older adult deserves to live with dignity, respect, and safety.
Elder abuse can take many forms, including physical abuse, emotional abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation. Too often, it happens behind closed doors and goes unreported.
At Pillars Community Health, we believe a healthy community is one where people of all ages feel supported, connected, and valued. By staying connected with older adults in our lives, checking in on neighbors and loved ones, and speaking up when something seems wrong, we can help create safer communities for everyone.
If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, support is available. Pillars Community Health's 24/7 Domestic Violence Hotline is available at 708-485-5254.
Together, along with our partners, we can help ensure older adults are treated with the care and respect they deserve.
