Overview

Elder abuse includes physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, exploitation, neglect, and abandonment. Perpetrators include children, other family members, and spouses-as well as staff at nursing homes, assisted living, and other facilities. Approximately one in 10 Americans aged 60+ have experienced some form of elder abuse. Some estimates range as high as five million elders who are abused each year. One study estimated that only one in 24 cases of abuse are reported to authorities. I was not prepared for what happens to the mind in the aftermath of a loved one's passing.

My Father Dr. John Walton was the victim of one of the worst forms of elder abuse. His abuse was calculated and planned by people he trusted. They attacked him by getting inside his life and turning it upside down by any means possible.

In this case, the truth did not appear quick enough.
