WHAT SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY THE HAVEN FOR ELDER JUSTICE?

Safe shelter placement and safety planning is our Elder Justice Advocate's first priority while working with those in need, securing a temporary refuge for a safe return to the community, or entry into a long-term care setting.

A community-based program is provided to victims ensuring they receive specialized case management services while remaining at home, in the community, and for elders who return home after a safe shelter stay. Advocacy for legal assistance, public policy support, and accessible benefits are achieved with the support of collaborating partners, such as the Rhode Island Department of Healthy Aging.

Education and training of recognizing and addressing elder abuse is provided by Saint Elizabeth Haven for Elder Justice. This comprehensive approach is shared with professionals, elders' families, law enforcement, volunteers and students across the entire state of Rhode Island.
