Description
Most older adults get along well with their family members. But in some cases, older adults are abused by family members, caregivers or strangers. Abuse of family members happens to both older and younger family members. In Canadian surveys, older adults are less likely than younger people to report abuse or neglect within their family relationships. However, abuse of older adults does happen. A 1999 Statistics Canada survey indicated that about seven per cent of older Canadians have reported they have experienced some form of emotional or financial abuse in the previous five years.
