Elder Abuse Prevention

Elder abuse prevention involves protecting older adults from physical, emotional, financial, and neglectful harm. It emphasizes awareness, education, and community involvement to identify and address risk factors. Key strategies include educating caregivers about proper treatment, providing resources for elderly individuals and their families, and promoting regular check-ins with seniors to ensure their well-being. Additionally, reporting suspected abuse to authorities and fostering social connections can help reduce isolation, a risk factor for abuse. Overall, it focuses on creating a safe, respectful environment for older adults to thrive.
