Adult Protective Services

Here's another option to attend an in/out of class experience or, if you're interested in pursuing a career in gerontology, networking.

Elder abuse encompasses those who are mentally, physically, or sexually abused, neglected, and exploited. Generally these persons are frail, vulnerable, healthcare fraud, and depend on others. General symptoms include: frequent arguments or tension between the caregiver and the elderly person and changes in personality or behavior. For more specific symptoms click here
