In the consumer protection section of the website you can learn about rights for the elderly, detect and prevent Medicare fraud, learn how to file a nursing home complaint, and find information on abuse of the elderly.
Other contemporary topics covered include information about grandparents raising grandchildren, elderly rights protection, age discrimination and reverse mortgages.
You can find contact information for federal and state agencies for seniors such as Administration on Aging, armed Forces Retirement Homes and Medicare payment Advisory commission and the Social Security Administration.
In the laws and regulations concerning senior’s section you can catch up on the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Older Americans Act, the Social Security Act and more.
