There are many reasons why elder abuse occurs. It often stems from attitudes that are ageist, and disrespectful of older people.
The majority of cases that Age Concerns work with involves older people living in their own homes. In most instances it is family members like adult children who perpetrate elder abuse or neglect.

When Erich Krogmann started the Food and Beverage Level 2 qualification, he had to learn how to balance study with a night job and a young family, but his main challenge came in the form of his hearing disability.
Erich says he thinks heβs inspired other people with a disability to take on training.

Deanna was born in Tuatapere and moved to Arrowtown in her teenage years where she completed her high school days at Wakatipu High School.
Now living in Invercargill and married to a local farmer, she is proud mum to four children: three teenagers and one at primary school.
Most of Deannaβs working career has been office work but when her youngest child started school five years ago she decided to follow her passion which is in Aged Care. βIβm really focussed on discovering what the residents are interested in and how theyβd like to spend their time,β she says.
Deanna is a fan of holding brainstorming sessions to discuss what activities they really enjoy and forms a plan based on that, saying βWeβre doing all sorts of things from Casino Afternoons, a Bowls Tournament, Itβs In the Bag, Round the World Travelβ¦ even an Ice Cream Trolley.β
Deanna has decided she will pursue her career even further and she is about to start Diversional Therapy training.
Her main aim is to bring fun and joy to daily activities through encouragement and support. βIβm big on talking and encouraging people to open up and get to know each other. Opening up hearts and having a good time!β says Deanna.
What a pleasure to meet Hayley Parsons of Clarks Beach, Auckland. She and husband Chris relocated this huge three-storey villa from Palmerston North to Auckland, and project managed the rebuild of Huntly House from London. Wonderful house, wonderful history.

Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, ages, orientations and genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.
There are many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck or film screening to providing prevention information / resources in other languages, there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say βhelloβ in their first language or ensuring local footpaths are clear and accessible.
Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how youβre creating inclusive communities this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:
