Grundy County/Kankakee County: Do you have concerns about the safety of an older adult (60 or older) or a person with a disability (18 – 59)? Concerns may include:

– abuse
– neglect
– financial exploitation
– self-neglect

Calls of concern about people who are not taking care of themselves or who are living in an unsafe environment can also be made confidentially to Catholic Charities, 815-933-7791, or to the 24 hour adult protective services hotline, 1-866-800-1409.

Catholic Charities provides trained and caring professionals to help determine the services most needed to stop neglect and abuse; protect the person who has suffered abuse and/or neglect; and assist the individual in the healing process. Intervention for the abuser is also provided.

Abuse isn’t always intentional and it can happen in any home.
