Growing older comes with exciting new adventures—but also new challenges. You may experience changes in your health, develop new disabilities, or face shifts in your living situation, employment, or benefits like Social Security and Medicaid.

As more people with developmental disabilities are living longer, aging and disability services are growing to meet their needs. The resources below can help you navigate this stage of life—including where to turn for support if you experience abuse, neglect, or exploitation, which can become a greater risk as people age.

If you are in a situation where a caregiver, guardian, nursing facility or others are harming you, neglecting you, or taking advantage of you, visit Adult Protective Services for help.
