Discussion Assignment
In addition to the legal issues and the financial challenges that the aging population face in accessing appropriate healthcare services, many older adults are also at risk of elder abuse. Elder abuse is more than the infliction of physical harm. The National Center on Elder Abuse Administration on Aging (NCEA) purports that no one knows how many people are suffering from elder abuse and neglect. The center also supports the claim that female elders are abused at a higher rate than males and that the older one is, the more likely one is to be abused (NCEA, 2015).

There are many types of elder abuse. Choose two types and discuss the challenges you perceive in abolishing them. Justify why you consider them as the most crucial. Discuss how you can advocate for the elderly and protect them from abuse.
