New Jersey’s First and Only Elder Abuse Shelter
Helping Seniors Find Safety, Support, and Healing
Elder abuse affects millions of people across the United States, with an estimated 2.5 million victims each year. At Senior Haven, we are here to provide a safe, compassionate space for those over the age of 65 who have suffered abuse.
What is Elder Abuse?
Elder abuse refers to harmful or neglectful actions by someone the elder relies on for care—often a trusted caregiver, family member, or friend. Abuse can take many forms, including physical, sexual, financial, emotional, verbal, or psychological abuse, as well as neglect.
SeniorHaven: A Safe Place for Healing
SeniorHaven is proud to be the first and only elder abuse shelter in New Jersey and all of 20 in the United States, offering a specialized, welcoming environment for older adults who have experienced abuse. We opened our doors on July 18, 2015, to help victims rebuild their lives in a safe and supportive space and to educate our community about this all too prevalent issue.
We understand that older adults have unique needs, and we’re here to address those needs with dignity and care.
