About Us

Who are we?

The York County Elder Abuse Task Force, established in 2005, is a group of committed professionals from many fields, including but not limited to law enforcement, social services, legal services for the elderly and financial institutions.

We come together to share our knowledge and skills, to serve as a resource to educate the public about elder abuse, and ultimately eliminate it as a problem in York county.

We as a task force have been able to be a part of and developed many innovative and nationally recognized activities surrounding our elders including: the “Wishing Well” program which grants our local elders a wish of their lifetime; we sponsor a scholarship for graduating seniors based on a winning essay involving a theme of elder abuse, we conduct mobile awareness discussions and presentations, we hold an annual educational conference and we have produced a training video just to name a few!
