This is a great time to purposely connect with older adults. Get involved to help prevent elder abuse going into the holiday seasons. Read below for ways to get involved, resources, and more.

    Elder Abuse and Older Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

    On November 1, 2017 · Add Comment
    “Disability” is a word frequently associated with aging. Many adults age without developing significant physical or cognitive disabilities; however, most older adults do experience changes in their functional capacities. In a society that prizes independence and idolizes the idea of being able bodied (having reasonable vision, hearing, physical mobility, and cognitive function), a fear of losing one’s capacities, of becoming disabled, is an important component of ageism.

    When Helping Hurts

    On June 28, 2017 · Add Comment
    Elder abuse is a national epidemic. Each year in the United States, an estimated 10 percent of older Americans are injured physically, debilitated emotionally, exploited financially and/or neglected — often by an adult child, spouse, other relative or caregiver. Elder abuse victims have a three-fold risk of death compared to their non-abused counterparts. Frequently, an elder is isolated, their mistreatment hidden.

    NYC Elder Abuse Prevention Campaign

    On June 20, 2016 · Add Comment
    “We wanted to emphasize that elder abuse happens every day, everywhere in the City, and that it ‘hits close to home,’ as the ads say,” explains Resnick. “We wanted people to understand that you don’t have to be in a nursing home, or be poor or have dementia to be an elder abuse victim. Because elder abuse is so often perpetrated by family members, anyone is vulnerable. And we wanted to get the message across that it could be happening to a neighbor, a friend, to their own older relative.”
