Cobb Elder Abuse Task Force
Vulnerability . . . Loneliness . . . Predators . . .
Older Adults can become frail, vulnerable, and the target of abuse. So what do you do if you suspect someone in your neighborhood, at a care facility where you visit a relative or, worse case, in your family is being abused, neglected, or exploited?
According to Georgia State Law . . . Elder Abuse is any intentional or negligent act by a caregiver or any other person who causes harm or a serious risk of harm to a vulnerable adult.
Who do I call to report Elder Abuse . . . even if I just suspect Elder Abuse, but it is outside of Cobb County?
