How To Report Elder Abuse

Recognize the Signs of Elder Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation

Be aware of the signs…if you see something, take action.

Do you recognize the signs of physical abuse to an elder? 

  • ABUSE—The willful and unjustified infliction of pain, injury or mental anguish or deprivation of food, shelter, clothing, or services necessary to maintain the physical or mental health of an older person. An older person is defined as a person 60 years of age or older. 
  • NEGLECT—Failure to provide food, clothing, shelter, services such as medical care and personal hygiene.
  • EXPLOITATION—Involves deception, intimidation, or undue influence. An attempt to obtain control of money, assets or property with the intent to permanently deprive the older person of the assets.

Northern Nevada Center for Independent Living

  

The Northern Nevada Center for Independent Living (NNCIL) was founded more than 30 years ago as a 501C-3 by a small group of people with disabilities to help others with disabilities hone the skills they needed to achieve independent living.


Over the years, we’ve brought in experts, gained and shared knowledge, developed programs, embraced technology and expanded our resources exponentially, all in an effort to help Nevadans with disabilities live healthier, more active and more fulfilling lives.


We are committed to growing, adapting and continually responding to the needs of our community in order to serve the needs of our friends and neighbors with disabilities. So, if your needs are not currently being met and you don’t see what you need on this website, please reach out to us. Together we’ll find a solution. Our services and resources are provided at little to no cost through grants and donations.
