Welcome to the Bluegrass Elder Abuse Prevention Committee

Home page

Elder Abuse is a growing phenomenon around the world, which threatens the well-being and safety of older adults regardless of race, class or creed. With increased sensitivity and awareness, together we can beat Elder Abuse and protect vulnerable older adults.

The Bluegrass Elder Abuse Prevention Committee (BEAPC) is a subcommittee of the Bluegrass Aging Consortium created as part of the Kentucky Elder Readiness Initiative (KERI). Members represent a broad spectrum of aging-related organizations and interest groups.
