Elder Mediation

The Elder Mediation program is designed to provide a confidential, safe, and informal means for elder citizens to resolve conflict through the use of professionally trained volunteer mediators.

Aging is a transition that can cause physical, legal, financial, and emotional challenges for individuals, families, and friends. If not handled in a collaborative manner, meeting these challenges can put a tremendous strain on relationships.

The mediation process allows elders and those who care for and about them an opportunity to clarify what is most important to them, share resources, consider alternatives, and find effective and satisfying solutions to the dilemmas that face them.

Disputes involving neighborhood problems, manufactured dwelling park issues, public housing and landlord/tenant issues, property matters, consumer problems, and concerns about living arrangements, home care, and family or business finances are all appropriate concerns that can be resolved through mediation.

While we may not be able to prevent these conflicts from occurring, we do have a choice of options about how to manage them. Using mediation gives elders the opportunity to remain in control of making the important decisions that impact their lives while avoiding the time, cost, uncertainty, and lack of privacy of litigation.
