According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC)
“Each year, hundreds of thousands of adults over the age of 60 are abused, neglected, or financially exploited.
“Elder abuse, including neglect and exploitation, is experienced by 1 out of every 10 people, ages 60 and older, who live at home. This statistic is likely underestimated because many victims are unable or afraid to disclose or report the violence.”
