CT launches elder justice hotline to combat abuse and neglect Zach Flores, CTMirror.org FacebookTwitterEmail The state announced Monday it has launched an elder justice hotline in response to an influx of allegations of abuse and maltreatment of the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The hotline, which was announced by Attorney General William Tong and the Coalition for Elder Justice, will link elderly residents to resources and information to proactively reduce different kinds of abuse, including abandonment and financial exploitation. Older adults found it difficult to get connected to the proper care they needed last year, but the hotline creates a centralized effort to quickly provide information and aid to more people than the coalition could previously manage. Dorian Long, director of social work services at the state Department of Social Services, said she is excited the hotline will connect people to the support they need.
