Elder abuse is a deeply troubling issue, impacting the safety, dignity, and well-being of older adults. The National Center on Elder Abuse reports that 1 in 10 older Americans experiences some form of abuse each year, yet only 1 in 14 cases is ever reported. From physical harm to psychological manipulation, financial exploitation, and neglect, the consequences of elder abuse are severe and often life-altering.
The Alarming Reality of Elder Abuse
⦁ Underreporting: Most elder abuse cases go unreported, leaving vulnerable individuals without the help they need.
⦁ Psychological Abuse: This is particularly prevalent, affecting 11.6% of the elderly, with rates in institutional settings reaching as high as 33.4%.
⦁ Care Facility Challenges: Abuse in nursing homes and long-term care facilities is exacerbated by chronic understaffing and lack of oversight.
⦁ Pandemic Impact: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the rate of elder abuse doubled, with 1 in 5 older adults reporting abuse.
⦁ California’s Statistics: Over 200,000 cases of elder and dependent adult abuse are reported annually in California alone, and many more remain unreported. Nationally, this could equate to 1.5 million cases per year.
These statistics underscore the urgency of addressing elder abuse and creating robust solutions to protect this vulnerable population.
