- Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Five million American senior citizens will become victims of elder abuse this year. Physical abuse, financial exploitation, neglect and abandonment - many of those crimes go unreported, because all too often the perpetrators are family members or caretakers.
Please take a moment to watch this video so you know what is going on and how to recognize Elder Abuse.
This just really breaks my heart. I am a retired Home Health Care Provider and my job was to keep my patients in the safe environment of their own home, praise God !!!
I'm glad you are not a abuser
I am a care assistant in the UK and it kills me to see vulnerable people be taken advantage of. In my eyes as soon as I signed my job contract my duty was and is to protect and serve those who came before me. These people built or world and they were hard workers and we should treat them with the up most respect just as much as children
This news really scares me & it should be a concern to everyone. We are All going to be old someday if we live that long, so we have that chance that we will be abused by health care workers especially if we don't have much or any family support. What's really awful too is when a elderly person moves in with their own family or relatives and the family they trusted to love & care for them abuses, uses, or neglects them. Things like this make me feel like there's no good in the human race.😢
So many people don't even want to get involved just as with child abuse so sad 😞 😢 😔
It needs to get better people need to report abuse
As I age I try to keep fit mentally and get exercise. Remember never to isolate , maintain friends and find ways to defend yourself.
I love my mom and dad My mom is old fashioned my dad Dementia it hard watching them get old but I know that they gave me life they never abused me why should I do that to them my family is important to me
God bless you your mom and dad ❤
It's unreported because of corruption.
Why would anyone do this to them. Breaks my heart.
This is so true about abuse and cruelty older people. Like in the Nurse home get abuse and cruelty by employees very day. Those employees sure be arrested for life. In the Nurse home or another places. This ever safe in the Nurse home. Sometimes the employees go to your room and abuse you while you are a sleeping or worse. Man or woman get abuse by employees.
If I saw someone do this I would have to report it I think anyone would if they had a conscious.
You legally have to
What Gets me is many Elderly individuals have contributed some much to our society, yet you have better luck get help and financial support for some wild animal than you do an Elderly person in need. That's what's so messed up about our society.
FACTS!!

Theirs dangers in depending on other people for care That's why I'm checking out at 75

George Floyd got justice
That's terrible!
I remember years back I volunteer in a nursing home and there was abuse ..I had to stop cause it upset me too,much ..After I quit I had heard some of the C.N.A nurses were fired ..
Very sad , to know the elderly people are being abused by the people who are taking care of then people put love in your heart the elderly people are like your parents 🙏
Needs to be reported and the law deal with it
OMG ich kann 😭
Do these adis get into trouble or any one who does this do they go to jail for it
I am being used and abused, and watching everyone around me get used and abused. FTW
There are thousands of people who would have become nurses but, because of the abuse they never completed of signed up for the courses.😞 very sad
O mighty god can people be so wicked to the elderly
Children need to be taken to court to pay for care for olders parents
Thats not fair Everyone has to plan for that moment in time Can't dump it all on children
Children didn't ask to be born. In a lot of abuse that is why, they angry they alive.
Cameras on you at all times
Jesus Christ in your heart thats were it all makes a difference the only way to really control abuse. Self control is a fruit of the Holy Spirit.
Sorry to have to say this but I would love for half an hour in a room with these people who hurt elderly people because at the end of the day that is someone’s mum or dad they are hurting but people like that don’t ever try and hit a young healthy person they pick on elderly people who cannot defend themselves absolutely disgusting
Those are all money making ..I luv old people's n will strick on that..that's I have idea on that..that's sure..
I'm 73 in fairly good shape but that could change at any time.
I'm beginning to see and feel how many people are not kind to Seniors that also includes Doctors especially. I'm ready for anyone that abuse me in anyway. Physical abuse what people need to realize is they could become dead longer than a Senior would stay in jail if they are incarcerated. Many Seniors are armed when they go into these So-called Facilities. Baby Boomers are a different generation of Seniors and we are ready to fight for our lives. Society should stop and think about the new generation of Seniors.😡
George Floyd got justice why can't elderly people get justice we are all going to get old and who going to stand for you
