Today, June 15th, Nash & Franciskato is acknowledging World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. It’s unfortunate that we actually have to have a day called World Elder Abuse Awareness Day; however, many of our elderly are in care situations where they suffer abuse and neglect on a daily basis.
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, launched by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse and the World Health Organization at the United Nations in 2006, works to generate awareness of the estimated 5 million older Americans that are victims of elder abuse, neglect, or exploitation every year.
This is a great opportunity to share this list of 12 things anyone can do to prevent elder abuse (taken from the National Center on Elder Abuse website).
Join us to keep the momentum going to stop elder abuse.
