Manage episode 508529750 series 3562173
The signs of elder abuse can be subtle at first – a withdrawn demeanor during family visits, unexplained bruises dismissed as simple falls, or unusual changes in bank accounts. Elder abuse is a growing concern in our country, with research showing that approximately one in ten people aged 60 and older who live at home experience some form of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
Even more troubling, cases increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the vulnerability of our senior population. Elder abuse occurs in homes, care facilities, and communities across every demographic, affecting people of all socioeconomic groups, cultures, races, and ethnicities.
