President Joe Biden kicked off the first day of “World Elder Abuse Awareness Month” by tripping on what appeared to be a flat surface at the Air Force Academy’s graduation ceremony.
If any good comes out of the incident, perhaps it is that we can go over just a few of the signs of what elder abuse looks like. It can affect any senior citizen — even the commander-in-chief, apparently.
“Elder abuse can include physical, sexual, emotional, neglect, and financial exploitation,” according to SeniorCare.com. “Another form of elder abuse is self-neglect.”
