Elder abuse is a devastating problem that seniors face. It comes in many forms: mental, physical, financial, and more. The World Health Organization shares that around 1 in 6 people 60 years old and older experienced some form of abuse in the community setting for the past year. Abuse of older people can lead to serious physical injuries and long-term psychological consequences.

Most bodily wounds heal on their own but long-term elder abuse can result in premature mortality, physical and psychological suffering, the destruction of social and family ties, terrible financial loss, and other consequences. Mistreatment of any kind can make the abused person afraid and despondent in the long run. The victim may believe that the abuse is his or her fault. Adult protective services agencies might recommend support groups and counseling to assist the abused individual to heal emotionally.

According to emerging evidence, the prevalence of maltreatment of older people in the community and institutions has increased during the COVID-19 epidemic.
