 Being entrusted with a parent's medical needs can be hard, but they need you, whether they realize it or not. This is Dr. Smith's office. We need to see you to go home. Elder abuse and neglect can take many forms, including self-neglect. Dad, why didn't you tell me you needed help? Report suspected abuse or neglect to the Alabama Department of Human Resources at 1-800-458-7214 or look for adult protective services on the DHR website at dhr.alabama.gov.
