Every year on June 15, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) is commemorated in America and worldwide. Through WEAAD, the aim is to raise awareness about the millions of older adults who experience elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation. As many as 1 in 10 older Americans are abused or neglected each year, only 1 in 14 cases of elder abuse ever come to authoritiesโ attention.
This month we will be providing educational aids on types of Elder Abuse, Signs & Symptoms to be on the lookout for, and How to Respond when you know or suspect elder abuse is happening.
