What is Elder Abuse? It is an action or inaction that causes or could cause harm to an older adult. This could include a family member, a friend, a paid caregiver, a professional, financial, legal, or medical advisor. Any senior can experience abuse regardless of culture, gender, race, financial status, mental or physical conditions. Abuse and neglect of older adults can take many forms including physical, emotional, financial, and neglect. Through our Elder Abuse Awareness and Education program, we work with seniors, their loved ones and professional caregivers to teach the signs of abuse, prevention tips, what to do if abuse is suspected, and supportive ways to overcome and heal from experience.
