About Us

Elder Justice Coalition

Our nonpartisan coalition is 3,000 members strong, spanning all generations. Comprised of individuals and organizations, we are a resource to Congress, the Administration, media, and the general public to raise awareness of elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation and help develop and advocate for national policies to end this crisis.

History

In February 2003, the Coalition was founded to coincide with the introduction of the original Elder Justice Act in Congress.

The EJC had five founding member organizations:

  • • The National Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (NCPEA)
  • • The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA)
  • • The National Association of State Units on Aging (NASUA)
  • • The National Association of State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Programs (NASOP)
  • • The National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA)

Since then, the EJC’s membership has grown to over 3,000 members
