Elderly Safety

Abuse Of The Elderly
Any older person could become a victim of abuse. Abusers can be anyone with whom an older person has contact (e.g. caregivers, landlords, neighbours, and friends), but most typically, abusers are family members of the older person (e.g. sons, daughters, or spouses). Identify the signs and know what to do in these situations.

Driving In Victoria
Most older drivers are aware of the limitations ageing can place on their driving skills. Many older drivers make sure they drive when and where it is safe.

Home Safety
Make your home safe for the elderly people that visit you and your family. Assess your house room by room to ensure all safety measures are in place.
