🟣 June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month 🟣
At Silver Oaks Support Services, we stand with the Ohio Department of Aging and our community in raising awareness and protecting our elders.
Elder abuse is more common than most people realize — and it can take many forms:
🛑 Physical abuse
🛑 Emotional abuse
🛑 Financial exploitation
🛑 Neglect or abandonment
🔎 Know the Signs:
• Unexplained injuries or bruises
• Sudden behavior changes or withdrawal
• Unpaid bills or missing money
• Poor hygiene, malnutrition, or unsafe living conditions
• Fearfulness around caregivers or others
⸻
💜 What You Can Do:
✔️ Check in regularly with elderly loved ones
✔️ Watch for red flags in their behavior or environment
✔️ Report concerns immediately
