368+ Elder Abuse CA Guide

To help California law enforcement in their work responding to abuse of elders and dependent adults (vulnerable adults with disabilities), the Center of Excellence on Elder Abuse and Neglect has partnered with the nonprofit Institute on Aging to develop a mobile app guide or "cheat sheet."

Based on input from multidisciplinary community partners, we've created these useful features for this mobile app:

- Warning Signs of abuse, neglect and financial exploitation
* What to look for in the home environment, caretaker behavior, elder/dependent adult behavior, medical markers
- Elder and Dependent Adult Penal Code 368
* Easy-to-reference summary of Penal Code 368
* Other common crimes that can be used in conjunction with a PC 368 arrest
- Quick tips on Memory Loss, People with Dementia as Witnesses, Caretaker Role, assessing common injuries like Bruises and Pressure Sores
- Agency Contacts for cross-reporting and for providing assistance to the victim
