The Kent County Elder Abuse Coalition (KCEAC) is a large group of professionals representing non-profit, profit, and government organizations that work with older adults through direct care, advocacy, policy work, and/or legal assistance. If you or your agency are interested in becoming a member of the Kent County Elder Abuse Coalition, the first step is to fill out the Membership Application with your information and send to info@protectkentseniors.org. Someone will then review your application and respond to you about the next steps. Though there is no fee to become a member, we ask all new members to sign a Membership Agreement upon joining and annually.
Benefits of Kent County Elder Abuse Coalition membership:
- Information Sharing (about resources and elder abuse cases)
