A:
Hello and thank you for using Justia.
You have been notified by a third party that your Grandmother is being subjected to Elderly Abuse. You must immediately call the Puerto Rico Abuse Hotline at (787) 725-9788 or (787) 721-8225 and report the abuse. In addition you can contact the Ombudsman for the Elderly at thier web site, http://www .agencias.pr.gov/agencias/oppea/ProcuraduriaDefensa/Pages/default.aspx
If you need additional information please feel free to contact me directly.
