About this service
It is estimated that 2-10% of older adults will experience one or more forms of abuse at some point during their senior years. For Peel, that works out to about 130,000 seniors. Most victims are abused by someone close to them, such as a partner, relative, friend or caregiver. Those who are being abused may be unwilling or unable to report it due to a number of reasons; isolation, dependency, fear, control.
