A: I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this. If you're being targeted or harassed, there may be legal protections available to you, especially as a senior and a person with a disability. Depending on the nature of the targeting—whether it's harassment, discrimination, financial exploitation, or threats—you may have options such as filing a restraining order, reporting to local law enforcement, or seeking assistance from an elder abuse protection agency.

If this involves housing discrimination, financial fraud, or workplace discrimination, specific laws under the Fair Housing Act, Elder Abuse Prevention laws, or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) might apply to protect your rights. You may also want to document any incidents, keep records of communications, and seek legal assistance to explore your options for protection and recourse.

Consider reaching out to a legal aid organization or an attorney experienced in elder law or disability rights for further guidance.
