Publisher Description: Elder abuse occurs in all cultures, societies, and countries. About one and a half million older adults in the United States are abused every year. In Canada, about four percent of older adults living in private homes report that they have been abused or neglected. The true figures for abuse may be much higher than these estimates. Experts believe that most cases of elder abuse are never reported. This book provides an introduction and overview to the distressing issue of elder abuse in health care facilities and family environments with a focus on prevention, avoidance and speaking out. - About the publisher: Mediscript Communications was founded in 1996 by a management team of marketing executives, writers, nurse educators, psychologists and distribution companies to provide a unique and effective style of publications, empowering readers and patients, through interaction, personalization and subsequent relevance.
