ELDER ABUSE
Elder abuse can leave lasting emotional, physical, and financial scars on older adults and their families, eroding trust and security. When families and communities are informed about the signs of elder abuse and how to prevent it, they can take proactive steps to protect vulnerable seniors. Raising awareness and fostering a culture of care and vigilance is essential to ensuring the safety and dignity of our elderly loved ones.
