Resources, agencies and counties · resources
What this source covers
Prepare a factual report of suspected theft, coercion or misuse of an older adult money or property.
How to use it
Who this route is for: Older adults, family, caregivers or others who suspect exploitation; adult-protection and criminal jurisdiction depend on the facts.
Prepare: Transaction dates and amounts, if known; Names and relationship of suspected people; Relevant statements or messages already available; Victim location and urgent risks
How to proceed:
1. Record the suspicious transactions, pressure or account misuse without confronting someone if that could increase danger.
2. Use Oregon SAFEline at 855-503-SAFE (7233) to report suspected elder exploitation; describe the person and the immediate concern.
3. Tell the receiving agency what records exist and ask how to submit them; keep copies through a safe channel.
4. Request a referral for legal help if access to funds, a fiduciary appointment or recovery of property needs review.
Timing and notices: Report promptly, especially when money continues to be withdrawn or access to basic needs is affected. Recovery and court deadlines vary.
