About US

The Elder Group LLC was founded in 2019 by a brother and sister team dedicated to advocating, educating and protecting elders of abuse and financial exploitation. Charles and Teresa Peek have more than 30 years of experience working within the human services field, some would refer to them as the helper of people because they each have a desire to promote social inclusion, equality and social justice among persons unable to advocate for themselves. Abuse whether domestic, sexual, emotional or psychological has plagued many on different levels; however, we've noticed

older persons of abuse has a tendency to go undetected. Older people face unique barriers when attempting to report an abuse - such as fear of

loneliness, fear of being institutionalized, fear of not being believed, fear of being separated from family, and fear for the impact on the abuser –

particularly if they are a family member.

Elders are entitled to be in control of their own lives, oftentimes they may often find themselves in a position where their ability to exercise choice or represent their own interests is limited due to frailty, disability, financial circumstances or social attitudes. We've notice throughout time, very little work has been done with perpetrators who abuse older people, so there is a lot that we don’t know about elder abuse; however, we are dedicated to providing advocacy and promoting victim services for older survivors by providing information and resources on equitable and accessible programs, safety planning, outreach, and mandatory reporting.

The Elder Group LLC is dedicated to collaborating and partnering with organizations that address domestic violence, sexual assault, abuse in later life, and elder abuse by offering training workshops on elder abuse and how to respond to reports of elder abuse. We along with many others have a desire to advocate for elder justice by providing information on legal remedies and resources to enhance victim safety and to hold offenders accountable, to include raising awareness of abuse in later life and elder abuse by focusing on older survivors and their needs as well as engage in policy development by working on a range of issues that affect survivors of abuse in later life.
