"As anyone who works with abused elders can tell you, elder abuse victims
often live in quiet despair. They are reluctant to seek help because of
ageism or fear of retaliation. To protect family members, they often remain
silent until their situations are desperate. They feel ashamed to be
victimized by people they trusted and worry that officials will not believe
them because of their age."
