World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

Age Concern

As many as one in ten older people in New Zealand will experience some kind of elder abuse. The majority of cases will go unreported.

Elder abuse is not specific to any one gender, religion, ethnicity, or income group. It may happen at home, in residential care, or in hospitals. Most of the time family members are the abusers.

Connection is the best prevention when it comes to Elder Abuse.

If you or someone you know is experiencing Elder Abuse, please contact:
