Social Isolation An isolated older victim may not know how or where to seek help. Elders often live alone, or with family members and don't interact with others in the community. A warning sign of every type of abuse is when the elder reports being abused. Study the warning signs of the types of abuse, and share this information with friends, relatives, and neighbors. Pertaining to Elder Abuse Arizona has been very active in legislating elder abuse.
Several statutes are now in place to protect the victims of abuse, and to prosecute the abusers.
