The FTC will NEVER say you must transfer your money to “protect it,” or tell you to buy gold and give it to someone. Neither will any other government agency. It's a scam. Report it at https://t.co/uX3wWAX4zf. Learn more: https://t.co/MBMlbGbFVc

Residents 60 years or older make up 25% of Monroe County and that number is only growing. That's why our Office of the Aging partners with @Lifespan_RochNY to combat Elder Abuse. By honoring World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, we reduce stigma and encourage folks to speak up.

We love our colleagues and our partnership with #MonroeCounty APS!

We agree @JoshJensen134 ensuring that our older adults are treated with respect and dignity is a nonpartisan issue. We appreciate your support for #ElderJustice and #WEAAD.

[Indigenous Aging @IA2Association]

In Indian country, abuse, neglect, & exploitation are often underreported because of love for or fear of the abuser. Let’s work to keep everyone safe as we age.
