Safe Today. Strong Tomorrow.
Why This Certification Matters
The annual Elder & Dependent Adult Abuse Symposium is one of Riverside County's premier educational events dedicated to protecting older adults and dependent adults from abuse, neglect, financial exploitation, and other forms of harm. The symposium brings together professionals from healthcare, Adult Protective Services, law enforcement, financial institutions, legal services, government agencies, and community organizations to share the latest research, prevention strategies, and best practices.
Its mission goes beyond education, it is designed to strengthen collaboration among organizations that care for vulnerable adults while promoting innovative solutions that help prevent abuse before it happens. Each year, hundreds of professionals attend to enhance their knowledge and improve the quality of care throughout Riverside County.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR OUR CLIENTS
This certification helps strengthen our ability to:
- Recognize the early warning signs of elder and dependent adult abuse.
- Better protect seniors from financial exploitation and scams.
- Collaborate effectively with healthcare providers, social workers, and community agencies.
- Support families with education and valuable community resources.
- Continue providing compassionate, informed, and person-centered care.
A Commitment to Continuous Improvement
At Advancare, professional development is more than a requirement; it's part of our culture.

By participating in specialized training such as the Elder & Dependent Adult Abuse Symposium, our team stays informed about emerging risks, current laws, intervention strategies, and community resources that help keep our clients safe.
Amy's completion of this certification represents another important step in ensuring our clients receive care from professionals who are knowledgeable, compassionate, and prepared to recognize the warning signs of abuse.
