As June marks Elder Abuse Awareness Month, this episode of TIPS explores the legal, ethical, and practical issues that can impact older adults and their families. Host Julia Vellucci is joined by Melissa Miller, partner at Howie, Sacks & Henry LLP, for a conversation about elder abuse, seniors' rights, long-term care, financial exploitation, and family decision-making. Together, they discuss warning signs of neglect and mistreatment, the challenges families face during transitions into care, powers of attorney, scams targeting seniors, and what steps can be taken when concerns arise.This episode focuses on awareness, prevention, and protecting the dignity, independence, and safety of older adults through education and informed decision-making. At the end of this episode, we look back on a past interview from episode 91 with Samra Zafar, a human rights advocate, bestselling author and survivor of gender-based violence, shining more light onto isolation and other warning signs when it comes to any kind of abuse, neglect or violence.
