Support for Vulnerable Older Adults & Caregivers
Are you concerned for:
  • The health and well-being of a vulnerable older adult?
  • A caregiver who, despite their best intentions, is overwhelmed and losing the ability to cope with the demands of care giving?

Call CAI for confidential information about local resources and possible alternatives for resolving the situation. CAI offers a variety of home care and case management services designed to enhance living situations and reduce caregiver stress. In situations where abuse is reported, information about how to obtain help from Adult Protective Services is provided.

Adults most at risk of neglect, abuse, and exploitation are:

  • Elderly and frail, especially those living alone
  • Severely developmentally or physically disabled, and dependent upon a caregiver
  • Those without close family or friends who visit regularly or help them manage their personal affairs
  • Confused or depressed, and not capable of caring for their daily needs
  • Withdrawn from social activities and interactions with peers
  • Known for being easily taken advantage of, or for letting others make decisions for them that are not in their best interest

When you suspect neglect, abuse, or exploitation call:

  • Adult Protective Services - Monroe County Department of Human Services (734) 243-7200
  • Adult Protective Service - Statewide Crisis Line (800) 996-6228
  • Local Law Enforcement or 911

Funding for the Elder Abuse Prevention Program is provided by AAA 1-B, the Monroe County Commission
on Aging, and program income. Services rendered under this program comply with funding source guidelines,
Civil Rights and Social Rehabilitation Act, and Equal Employment Practices.
