Wednesday, June 15th is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
According to the National Council On Aging, almost 5 million older adults are abused each year. Abuse is not always physical or emotional. Often it involves a person's finances. The annual loss of victims of financial abuse is estimated at $35.6 Billion. Know the signs and how to protect those you care about.
