Did you know that one elderly person is victimized every 2.7 minutes?

Did you know that more than one in ten older adults may experience some type of abuse, but less than 20% of cases are reported?

This means that many seniors who have been abused do not get the help they need. Unfortunately, their suffering is often in silence.

Elder abuse can happen to any older individual – your neighbor, your loved one - it can even happen to you!


The Piedmont Triad Regional Council Area Agency on Aging and the 2013 Elder Abuse Awareness Day Walk Planning Committee invite you to be part of the Piedmont Triad’s 2nd Annual World Elder Abuse Awareness Day Walk.

Remember, TOGETHER, we have the power to prevent elder abuse!
