True, be careful how you treat the elderly. We are a frail group, and are usually taken advantage of. I have experienced, first hand, over the last 5 years, the emotional, and financial abuse of huge non profit corporations, who are relentless about making sure our last days are filled with fear, and the “Helping” state and federal agencies who don’t lift a finger to help, because non profits don’t “fall under their jurisdiction” . Oh, sure, they give lip service about how they help, but talk is cheap. I intend to start a foundation where “real” help is given, an advocacy foundation for people like me who have been financially and emotionally exploited. The only problem is that there are no pro bono lawyers to stave off these large corporations that refuse to take responsibility for the havoc they wreak in the lives of the elderly, and continue to do so.

I am both disabled and older and have no idea what to do to stay afloat since my partner died and I completely fell apart. I had no shred of a support system and still have none! Elder justice and Disabled justice seem like natural partners as it’s the mainly disabled elder that are taken such gross advantage of. Just drawing attention to something that’s an important aspect of what makes elder abuse so easy, it’s happened to me and my brother got away with everything! It’s easy to pass laws, very very hard to enforce them!
