Abuse of older adults in our society isn't something that we talk about very much. But that doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.
Here is some information about what Elder Abuse is.
And here is a video that helps to highlight some of the abuse that an older person may experience.
During the last several months of restrictions due to Covid, some people have become even more isolated than they were. And sometimes it can be difficult to know where to turn to for help.
If you, or someone you know, is being abused you can call the Police to talk to someone about the abuse.
