Elderly Protective Services

elderly ladies
Elderly Protective Services acts to prevent, remedy, halt or hinder acts of abuse and neglect against elderly adults. It works toward these goals while promoting the maximum possible degree of personal freedom, dignity and self-determination for the senior.

Elder abuse and neglect can take many forms — physical abuse, emotional battering, threats, theft, embezzlement or neglect by caregivers.

The programs serves Orleans, Jefferson, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. John, St. James, and Lafourche. 

If you have reason to believe an adult age 60 or older is being abused or neglected by their own actions or by a caregiver, contact Elderly Protective Services at 1 (800) 673-4673, (504) 832-0684, 24 hours a day.  All calls are strictly confidential.

You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.
