Elder abuse is the intentional mistreatment or harming of an adult over age 60. This abuse can take many forms – physical, emotional, sexual and financial exploitation, as well as neglect.

That number is likely much higher because elder abuse is often underreported – especially in underserved communities. Abuse victims typically show emotional and behavioral red flags, such as depression, unusual fear or anxiety or intentional iso...
