Care Advocate Program

The Care Advocate Program provides seniors and their families with trained representatives that will advocate on their behalf and collaborate with senior protective service organizations in a highly confidential manner to reduce the risk of abuse and neglect. C.A.P. provides a positive and proactive approach by engaging in a friendly visiting service with a trained, knowledgeable and skilled team at no cost for services rendered. More than half a million reports of abuse against elderly Americans reach authorities every year, and millions more cases go unreported. Abuse and neglect of the elderly in institutional settings, primarily nursing homes, is increasingly recognized as a widespread "National Tragedy" in the United States. Help Guide reports reveal that tens of thousands of seniors across the United States are being abused or harmed in some substantial manner by paid facility staff. Institutional elder abuse often goes undetected, unreported and unaddressed because of inadequate internal systems to detect abuse. The neglect and mistreatment is inflicted on the elderly by paid caregivers. C.A.P. provides free services to ensure the safety and protection of vulnerable seniors at home and in long-term care facilities. C.A.P. will assess, monitor and safeguard your loved one at no cost.
