Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
Elder abuse affects millions of older adults each year, yet it often goes unseen and unspoken.

At Independence at Home, we are proud to partner with the National Center on Elder Abuse to help bring this issue into the open. In a thoughtful Q&A, our Director of Community Giving, Mercedes Perezchica, and NCEA’s Deputy Director, Kimmy Moon, talk about why elder abuse is often overlooked, how ageism shapes the conversation, and what we can all do to better support the safety, dignity, and independence of older adults.
