Survey Asks Vermonters to Share Views on Elder Abuse

Springfield, Vt. — Senior Solutions is asking senior citizens and service providers to take a survey to help the nonprofit organization address the needs of community members.

Called “Abuse in Later Life: Services and Support for Individuals Being Harmed,” the survey is part of a grant that Senior Solutions received from the U.S. Dept. of Justice to help older adults who have been victims of abuse.

People who take the survey will not be asked their names. They will only be asked for demographic information including age, race, education level, employment status and annual income. Senior Solutions is requesting that the surveys be completed by the end of July.

There are two versions of the survey: One for service providers (which can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JusticeVT) and one for adults age 50 and older (which can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ElderJusticeVT).

Those who want a paper copy of the survey can contact Senior Solutions 802-885-2655.
