Reports of elder abuse, neglect rise; Most cases thought to be unintentional |
|
| Comments: |
Last year New Hampshire received 2,221 reports of mistreated adults, compared to 1,424 in 2000. "To help, the health department recently formed a group of social workers, lawmakers and nurses who will spend the next year crafting a plan to prevent elder abuse from growing along with the over-65 population. The tasks include the simple, such as ordering wallet-sized cards listing the signs of abuse to the complicated, like stiffening legal penalties for crimes against the elderly or disabled." |
