Elder Abuse and Neglect

This program addresses elder abuse in the elder's family home and is designed for home health agencies, hospices, community service agencies, and others who train professional and family caregivers.
Elder abuse is the mistreatment of an elder by someone who has a relationship with that elder. It can be a spouse, adult child, friend, neighbor, or a caregiver. According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, more than two-thirds of the abusers are family members.
