Treating our elders with dignity

Elderly Australians can be seen as an easy target by those less scrupulous members of society. In the downloadable PDF, Treating our elders with dignity, YOURLifeChoices identifies the type of abuse elders are at risk of, the signs that someone is being abused and the actions that can be taken to prevent abuse or deal with it once it has happened.
