Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. It is important to remember that abuse is not only physical or emotional. Any act which adversely affects an elderly person-including the wielding of financial power-is considered abuse. Lets stand together to protect our elderly. #WEAAD https://t.co/8cxbROuwp4
