That's a wrap! 🙌 Thank you so much to all of our volunteers who helped us pack hurricane preparedness kits today for local older adults. The Florida Department of Elder Affairs provided us with enough supplies to create 100 kits. They were stuffed with a number of essentials such as batteries, radios, flashlights, whistles, first aid kits and plenty more. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and made this possible!

LEARN THE RED FLAGS 🚩 One form of abuse that older adults face is emotional abuse, which is sometimes called psychological abuse. This type of abuse can include a caregiver saying hurtful words, yelling, threatening, or repeatedly ignoring the older adult. Emotional abuse can also happen when the caregiver prevents the older adult from seeing close friends and relatives. Learn the signs and call 1-800-962-2873 to report and to prevent elder abuse.
