The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) and AARP Rhode Island are hosting a “road show” Sept. 27 at 10:30 a.m. at the Cranston Senior Center to promote the state’s bus and rail systems as easy, economical ways for people age 50-plus to get around.
As part of the Minnesota Stop Abuse and Financial Exploitation of Elders (MN S.A.F.E. Elders) coalition, AARP helped fund a documentary called Elder Victims: Abused, Exploited, Alone. The video explores the challenges of identifying and preventing financial exploitation, physical abuse and neglect of the elderly.
