DOJ Elder Justice Initiative

Elder Abuse & Protection · New Mexico · Free

US Department of Justice resources on prosecuting elder abuse and financial fraud. A starting point for any senior, family member, or neighbor who suspects something is wrong but isn't sure what to do. Anonymous reporting is allowed but limits APS's ability to follow up — leaving contact info helps the investigation. Self-neglect (refusing food, hygiene, medical care) is the most common form of "abuse" — APS handles it when capacity is in question. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
