It might be physical violence, isolation, or identity theft, or the theft or embezzlement of a senior’s property. (A.R.S. § and A.R.S. § )

Quick Facts Prevalence: >1 million persons over age 60 experienced abuse, neglect, exploitation and neglect by someone they depended upon In 1996, 64.2% of all reports made were substantiated: 31.7% were self-neglect cases, 25.4% were cases of abuse by others, 7.1% were unknown.
