Legal Aid Society of Rochester - Elder Abuse Outreach Program
The Legal Aid Society of
Rochester is a not-for-profit organization that provides direct legal
services, including lay advocacy and related human services, to adults
and children. We ensure that those who seek justice have an opportunity
to receive a fair and full hearing. We obtain legal solutions that have
a beneficial impact on our clients and the community.
The purpose of the Elder Abuse Outreach Program is to increase awareness
about elder abuse and to assist those in abusive situations to get the
help they need to end the abuse. In collaboration with Lifespan, we
provide services in Genesee, Monroe, and Orleans counties to seniors who
have suffered physical, emotional, psychological, and/or financial abuse.
We provide direct legal
representation, legal counseling, outreach, and training in cases
involving elder abuse.
