Ontario aid for at-risk seniors
The Ontario Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (ONPEA) has launched a new free, confidential, province-wide phone service to assist at-risk seniors. The new Seniors Safety Line — 1-866-299-1011 — provides 24 hours a day, seven-day-a-week assistance, in 150 languages.
In June 2008, the Ontario Trillium Foundation, an agency of the Ontario government, awarded ONPEA a three-year, 5,700 grant to help with the set-up of the hotline.
ONPEA projects that the new hotline will provide support to more than 4,000 seniors in the first year of operation.
