Report Elder Abuse

Most cases of elder abuse go undetected. Don’t assume that someone has already reported a suspicious situation. You do not need to prove that abuse is occurring; it is up to the professionals to investigate the suspicions.

Report your concerns. The agency receiving the report will just ask what you observed, who was involved, and who they can contact to learn more.

To report suspected abuse in your community, contact your local Adult Protective Services (APS) agency:

Nevada County | (888) 339-7248
Placer County | (888) 886-5401
Sacramento County | (916) 874-9377
Sierra County | (530) 289-3720
Sutter County | (530) 822-7227
Yolo County | (530) 661-2727
Yuba County | (530) 749-6471

Outside of the these counties, visit the NCEA website or call the Eldercare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 for the number to your local Adult Protective Services office.
