Elder abuse is a silent problem that robs seniors of their dignity, security, and—in some cases—costs them their lives. Up to five million older Americans are abused every year, and the annual loss by victims of financial abuse is estimated to be at least $36.5 billion.

As of 2018, 52 million people in the U.S. were over the age of 65. Nearly 1 in 10 of these people suffer from elder abuse every year, according to some estimates.

Anyone can commit elder abuse, from loved ones to caregivers to other residents in a nursing home. And, elder abuse takes many forms, including physical injuries, financial exploitation, and even sexual battery.

Concerned families should review the most important elder abuse facts and statistics to get a scope of the overall problem and learn how to protect their loved ones.

What is elder abuse?
Elder abuse includes physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, exploitation, neglect, and abandonment. Perpetrators include children, other family members, and spouses—as well as staff at nursing homes, assisted living, and other facilities.

Physical abuse means inflicting physical pain or injury upon an older adult.

Sexual abuse means touching, fondling, in*******se, or any other sexual activity with an older adult, when the older adult is unable to understand, unwilling to consent, threatened, or physically forced.

Emotional abuse means verbal assaults, threats of abuse, harassment, or intimidation.

Confinement means restraining or isolating an older adult, other than for medical reasons.

Passive neglect is a caregiver’s failure to provide an older adult with life’s necessities, including, but not limited to, food, clothing, shelter, or medical care.

Willful deprivation means denying an older adult medication, medical care, shelter, food, a therapeutic device, or other physical assistance, and exposing that person to the risk of physical, mental, or emotional harm—except when the older, competent adult has expressed a desire to go without such care.

Financial exploitation means the misuse or withholding of an older adult’s resources by another.

Taking a few quiet moments each day to check in with yourself can make a meaningful difference in your mental and emotional well-being. In the rush of daily life, it’s easy to move through the day without noticing how you’re really feeling or what you might need.

These simple reflection questions are designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and build greater self-awareness over time. There are no right or wrong answers—just honest moments of checking in with your thoughts, emotions, and needs.

You can ask yourself these questions in the morning, at night, or anytime you need a pause to reset. Over time, this practice can help you better understand yourself, recognize patterns, and respond to your needs with more compassion.

This is your reminder that your feelings matter, your needs matter, and you are worth the time it takes to check in with yourself.
