Elder abuse is a very serious issue in the United States. If you or someone you know is facing financial exploitation or physical abuse, please contact your local adult protection unit.  In Rice County, call the adult protection unit of Rice County Social Services.  If you are experiencing physical abuse, please call the HOPE Center.
