How to Report Suspected Abuse, Neglect, or Exploitation

When reporting suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of the elderly, your report should include as much of the following as possible. The more information you can provide, the better the chance your report will be investigated.

  • Name, age, race, sex, and physical description of each aged person or disabled adult alleged to have been abused, neglected, or exploited.
  • Names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the alleged victim's family members.
  • Name, address, and telephone number of each alleged perpetrator.
  • Name, address, and telephone number of the caregiver of the aged person or disabled adult, if different from the alleged perpetrator.
  • Name, address, and telephone number of the person reporting the alleged abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
  • Description of the physical or psychological injuries sustained;
  • Actions taken by the reporter, if any, such as notification of the criminal justice agency.
  • Any other information available to the reporting person which may establish the cause of abuse, neglect, or exploitation which occurred or is occurring.

  • The National Center on Elder Abuse provides a statewide listing of telephone numbers and links to their websites to report elder abuse in domestic situations or in the community, as well as abuse in adult congregate living facilities (ACLF/ALF), nursing homes, or long term care facilities. Many states also have online directories that list local reporting numbers.
