Compiling a list of actual useful resources for families dealing with elder abuse, especially in new jersey, please add what you know
I've been going through a tough situation with a family member and spent a lot of time trying to figure out what help actually exists. I wanted to share what I found and also hear what others know because the more complete this gets the more useful it'll be for people who land here desperate.
Things I've come across so far:
New jersey adult protective services handles investigations for seniors living in the community; you report through your county office
The NJ long-term care ombudsman, specifically for seniors in nursing homes or assisted living
Subreddits:s of new jersey;New Jersey: free legal help for those who qualify
Elder help network; came across them while researching, they seem to do advocacy work and have gotten involved in actual court cases which i thought was interesting
There are probably a lot more i haven't found yet. If you've navigated this before in New Jersey or anywhere else what actually helped? What was a waste of time? I would love to build this out into something genuinely useful.
