National Center on Elder Abuse

The goal of the NCEA is to improve the national response to elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation by gathering, housing, disseminating, and stimulating innovative, validated methods of research, practice policy and education. Our objectives are to:
- Increase the identification and reporting of elder abuse by providing guidance for programs that serve older adults, and by developing and disseminating information for professionals.
- Improve the ability of those in the aging network to detect, intervene, and prevent abuse by providing practical tools and technical assistance, as well as collaborating on pioneering approaches to improve practice.
- Stimulate sustainable and innovative systems-change by fostering the development of programs, models, and initiatives which will ultimately decrease the incidence of elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
Administration for Community Living

The Administration for Community Living was created around the fundamental principle that older adults and people of all ages with disabilities should be able to live where they choose, with the people they choose, and with the ability to participate fully in their communities.
By funding services and supports provided by networks of community-based organizations, and with investments in research, education, and innovation, ACL helps make this principle a reality for millions of Americans.
ACL currently is seeking comments and input on a variety of issues and initiatives. You also will find closed comment opportunities.
