Approximately 1 in 10 older adults experience some form of elder abuse each year, yet only 1 in 14 cases ever comes to the attention of authorities. This hidden epidemic affects millions of seniors and underscores the critical need for effective elder law services and advocacy in safeguarding the rights and well-being of our aging population. 

According to recent data, over 70% of older adults will require some form of long-term care during their lifetime, whether it's in their own homes, in assisted living facilities, or hospice care. However, less than 10% have made adequate legal preparations for this stage of life, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive long-term care planning and the role of elder law attorneys in ensuring a smooth and legally sound transition into these critical care settings.

October was National Domestic Violence (DV) Awareness Month. November is National Family Caregivers Appreciation Month, as well as National Home Care and Hospice Month. 

In this episode, I chat with Bryan Adler, an elder law attorney, who talks us through elder abuse, reporting, and long-term care planning.
