title: Elder abuse--a family experience.
abstract: Abuse happens every day to elderly and disabled individuals either through ignorance or design. Protecting your patient or loved one requires you to be suspicious of everyone who has access to the patient, even other family members. It is the most difficult and demanding task you will ever undertake. Our story is a long and emotional one, If you wish to read an account of our experiences, please visit my Web site at www.iannarino.us/elderabuse.
