A Message from our CEO,
Meritan stands as a beacon of hope for victims of elder abuse, offering crucial support and resources completely free of charge. Our dedicated team works around the clock, providing emergency response, clinical assessments, safe housing, and comprehensive case management to those in immediate crisis.
As a private nonprofit, we depend on the generosity of our community to sustain these vital services, especially given the absence of dedicated state or local funding for emergency victim care. Our team often encounters individuals in truly heartbreaking conditions – from unsafe living environments lacking basic necessities to the profound isolation and neglect they endure. We are committed to being the voice and unwavering advocates for the most vulnerable among us.
Please consider partnering with us to ensure that victims of elder abuse receive the urgent care and support they desperately need. Your contribution can make a life-changing difference.
Melanie Keller President/CEO
With the recent closure of the Family Safety Center, Meritan now provides all intake and case management services for all reported victims of elder abuse in Shelby County. All services are provided at no cost to the victim.
