Center For At-Risk Elders

The Center for At-Risk Elders (CARE) is a non-profit, lawyer-led team of advocates guarding Indiana’s neglected, abused, and exploited elders. CARE’s civil justice focus centers on providing legal services to establish adult guardianships where appropriate. These services uniquely focus on offering emergency guardianship intervention services. These services are designed to offer protection for elders who are actively being exploited financially, abused, or neglected, and for those at imminent risk of being so. This includes situations of self-neglect. It also includes circumstances of exploitation, abuse or neglect at the hands of relatives or others. In addition to these program services, CARE serves as a resource to professionals and the general public on issues relating to the challenge of providing care to elders in crisis or in need of protection.
