The goal of sharing information about elder exploitation, abuse, neglect, undue influence, etc. is to make readers aware of the nuances of elder abuse. Too many think elder abuse is tying a senior citizen to a bed and beating them physically. What we are addressing is psychological and emotional abuse leading to a deterioration in quality of life, including denial of a right to life, and other types of psychological, financial and emotional exploitation. A senior of a fixed income can be denied a right to life if their ability to support themselves (finanical exploitation) is present. Elder abuse, neglect and exploitation issues are froth with all sorts of nuance type behaviors and abuses and to think of it as just phsyical is not realistic, accurate nor appropriate. There will updates to the material in our book so that readers have a manual for "how to" recognize impaired judgement, what to do about, what will law enforcement and social services need to hear from observers, the buzz words to document what is transpiring, etc. This is imperative information to every aging American and it will be updated shortly. Please see: www.ParadiseCosts.com and keep up with the blog. Thanks very much, and, remember elder abuse is EVERYONE'S BUSINESS.
