Elder abuse has serious and devastating effects on growing numbers of Ohio's older generation. To help address the issue and empower and protect older Ohioans from fraud and abuse, the Ohio Attorney General's Elder Abuse Commission presented a virtual public forum on May 17, 2021, for older adults, their families and caregivers.

If you suspect an older person is being abused, contact your local law enforcement agency or county Job and Family Services office. For more information, call the Ohio Attorney General's Elder Justice Unit at 800-282-0515.
