Neftaly Elder Abuse Awareness Programs
Overview
Neftaly’s Elder Abuse Awareness Programs are dedicated to protecting the rights, dignity, and well-being of older adults. Through public education, community engagement, and advocacy, we work to raise awareness of elder abuse, prevent mistreatment, and ensure seniors live in safety and respect.
Our programs empower individuals, caregivers, and professionals to recognize the signs of elder abuse, respond appropriately, and support a culture of care and accountability.

To prevent elder abuse by educating communities, strengthening protective systems, and promoting respect, dignity, and justice for older adults.
