Nessel launches revamped Elder Abuse Task Force web page


Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has unveiled a newly redesigned web page at www.michigan.gov/ag/initiatives/elder-abuse/elder-abuse-task-force. Michigan's Elder Abuse Task Force launched in 2019 and consists of more than 55 different organizations in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors – all working together to combat elder abuse. More than 100 individuals on the Task Force working diligently to accomplish nine initiatives (PDF), including requiring certification and training for professional guardians.  

The web page highlights several major achievements, including:

• The use of the Vulnerable Adult Incident Report (PDF) statewide to investigate abuse or financial exploitation.

• The Financial Exploitation Prevention Act (PDF), which requires financial institutions to report financial exploitation.

• Teaching Michigan residents how to spot and stop abuse.

• The Uniform Power of Attorney Act (PDF), which adopts uniform standards for the creation and use of a power of attorney form used by more than 30 other states.

Residents seeking elder abuse resources are encouraged to call 800-24-ABUSE (22873), or 855-444-3911 to report suspected elder abuse.
