Number of elder abuse cases increases

Posted on Thursday, August 19th, 2010 at 9:30 am    

Elder abuse can happen in a nursing home, but it can also happen at home between the elderly person and a family member or friend.

According to the director of the New Jersey of Elder Advocacy, relatives begin to take care of elderly relatives and through frustration or exhaustion may end up neglecting or abusing the person.

In 2007, there were 2,249 cases of elderly abuse, exploitation and neglect and in 2008 the number increased to 2,492. Elder abuse can take may forms but it is defined as an act or failure to do an act that can result in harm of an elderly person.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of elderly negligence, contact the New Jersey elder abuse lawyers of Levinson and Axelrod by calling 800-346-5529 today.
