Elder abuse may be difficult to detect. The reason elder abuse is difficult to detect is due to a lack of reporting. Sometimes the elderly do not report the abuse they are enduring because they do not know where, or who to turn to. In addition, at times the elderly fear the repercussions associated with reporting those who are caring for them.
Moreover, the elderly are also vulnerable and may have trouble recalling information, making it very difficult to report the sequence of events. Furthermore, other outside individuals do not report the abuse because they are unsure of where to report the abuse. Additionally, individuals may have difficultly identifying the signs of elder abuse.
