Updated November 5, 2025 11:32 am<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your adult child was abusing you financially, emotionally or physically, what would you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In New York State, for every one reported case of elder abuse, about 23 typically go unreported, according to the \u201cUnder the Radar: New York State Elder Abuse Prevalence Study<\/a>,\u201d which those who work in the adult services field said continues to correlate with what they see on Long Island. There are approximately 260,000 older adults who are victims of physical, sexual, financial or psychological abuse each year, according to the study issued in 2011 which a spokesperson for the state Office for the Aging confirmed \u201cis still the most recent and definitive study on elder abuse prevalence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are a lot of reasons that people don\u2019t report the abuse,\u201d said Haley Gordon, who coordinates a\u00a0Suffolk County elder abuse multidisciplinary team<\/a>\u00a0at EAC Network, a social services agency in Central Islip. \u201cThey\u2019re fearful of retaliation by the person who is abusing them. There\u2019s sometimes shame or guilt. They feel it\u2019s their fault. They worry if they report that their caregiver is abusing them and that person is arrested, what\u2019s going to happen to them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What adds to the stigma is who the abusers tend to be: 90% of senior abuse is perpetrated by an adult child, grandchild or other family member living with them, according to Lisa R. Stern, assistant vice president for senior and adult services at Family & Children\u2019s Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople imagine it\u2019s a 99-year-old person in a nursing home being physically abused, which is horrible, and it happens,\u201d said Cate Carbonaro, executive director of The Retreat, which provides shelter and support services for those affected by abuse. \u201cBut that\u2019s not what we see as much as adult children doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carbonaro said transportation and housing issues add to the vulnerability of those on Long Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have clients that are in places here that, if they don\u2019t have a car, the abuser is really able to isolate them and abuse them,\u201d she said. \u201cRegarding housing, if they do have somewhere that they\u2019re living, they\u2019ll say, \u2018I\u2019m not moving from this place even if my son\u2019s abusive, because where am I going to go?\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Clear-Cut Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gordon said financial abuse \u2014 defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta as the illegal, unauthorized or improper use of an older individual\u2019s resources by a caregiver or other person in a trusting relationship \u2014 is the most common form of abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese are very complex and unhealthy family dynamics that make these cases really difficult because it\u2019s not necessarily clear cut,\u201d Gordon said. \u201cA lot of the time we see adult children who are misusing their parents\u2019 funds. Sometimes they feel entitled to it, like \u2018it\u2019s going to be my inheritance anyway.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helen Atkinson-Barnes, director of prevention programming of the\u00a0Abuse in Later Life program<\/a>\u00a0launched at The Retreat in September, said, \u201cFinancial abuse is particularly insidious because very often older adults do need support and help from a caregiver in managing finances, so it\u2019s hard to untangle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding to this dynamic is simply that the older person loves their children or grandchildren, said Manda Kristal, financial exploitation and abuse program coordinator for Family & Children\u2019s Association. \u201cA lot of times they will be giving them their credit cards and money and you can see their funds are dwindling, sometimes even to the point they would lose their own house,\u201d she said. \u201cThey love their children more than they love themselves and are willing to do anything for them, even to their own detriment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mental Health Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another complexity is that often the abuser will either have some degree of untreated mental illness or substance abuse issues, said Jeanne Cacciatore, program director of the Family & Children\u2019s Association\u2019s Safe Observant Seniors (SOS) program, which supports seniors in Nassau facing financial, physical and emotional abuse. \u201cI have found that 90% to 95% of my clients have been abused by their own children who are not able to be independent. . . . They\u2019re looking for help and there are many gaps in the system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s what happened to L.R., 69, of Seaford, who asked that her name be withheld for her safety. She said her son had a cycle of substance misuse, psychiatric hospitalizations and incarceration. In addition to abusing his parents emotionally, in 2021 he assaulted his father, now 70, in their home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen my husband speaks about it, he says \u2018My son tossed me around the house like a rag doll and I wound up having to go to the hospital,\u2019 \u201d L.R. said. \u201cThank God he was not seriously hurt. I jumped in, so I had a couple of bruises on my arm and he was pulling my hair. I was able to call 911. And then 20 police cars showed up. It was horrible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said it\u2019s hard to make the decision to call when it\u2019s your child. Her son is on probation after serving time in Nassau County jail and an upstate prison and has a stay-away order that prevents him from being near his parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the majority of elder abuse is at the hands of adult children, experts note the perpetrator can be paid help or someone who has inserted themselves into the senior\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Doreatha Hirsch, 71, was hired in 2024 to be a senior companion three days a week for an 88-year-old Huntington man, she said it immediately became clear that the aide who had moved into his home to also help take care of him was doing anything but. She said the senior, who was experiencing dementia, was being neglected and his finances were also being controlled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe would tell me how unhappy he was, and he thought something was wrong financially because he was signing his checks over to the live-in person,\u201d said Hirsch, who has worked as a senior companion since 2005. \u201cHe went [almost two weeks] without a shower and didn\u2019t have clean clothes, and he said the person living with him would just make fun of him and curse at him. The live-in also tried to have the older person sign his property over to him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hirsch, a Port Washington resident, added that because the live-in had also alienated the neighbors, they were no longer checking on the senior, which isolated him. It took the coordination of people from the senior\u2019s church and a relative to get the live-in out of the house, and now there\u2019s more oversight to ensure his health and financial safety, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other cases have had worse outcomes. Last month, home health aide Amanda A. Fraser, of South Richmond Hills, Queens, was charged with attempted murder in the stabbing of an 84-year-old Massapequa woman in her care. The elderly woman was listed in serious critical condition, according to Nassau County police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Active vs. Passive Neglect<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some abuse is the result of either active or passive neglect on the part of the caregiver, Gordon, of the EAC network, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cActive neglect is knowing that someone needs their diaper changed and not doing it or withholding care,\u201d she said. \u201cPassive neglect really stems more from a lack of knowledge or skills or being overwhelmed. There\u2019s no malicious intent, but it doesn\u2019t mean that they\u2019re properly caring for the senior or creating a safe environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gordon said sometimes these cases come to her team\u2019s attention through hospital referrals. \u201cPassive neglect can reach that level of it\u2019s very dangerous for the seniors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s when local organizations can provide education, support and services to the families, said Gordon, who with the multidisciplinary team reviews cases and makes connections between professionals in the community and their senior clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are support services so that the seniors have better quality of life and stay in their home if that\u2019s what they want to do,\u201d she said. \u201cThat can mean finding home health aides or a visiting nurse. There are supports like bathing services, nutrition programs and a transportation service that can take your parent to an adult day care center while you\u2019re at work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay Connected<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Older adults can also take preventive steps by making sure they know what services are available and maintaining social connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMake sure your doctors know what\u2019s going on,\u201d Gordon said. \u201cTalk to people who care about you. Go to church, if that\u2019s what\u2019s important to you, or the senior centers. Just being in the community, knowing that people care about you and are looking out for you can be a support.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L.R. said what helped her was joining the Family & Children\u2019s Association\u2019s SOS support group. \u201cWhen I went to a support group, I was surprised at how many other families had these issues. . . . The support group gave me that place where I could talk to somebody openly,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Programs like SOS also offer safety planning, Cacciatore said. \u201cOne of my mantras is: I know you love the person, but you must stay safe. So we talk about ways to do that, which is a different plan if the abuser is still living in the home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red Flags<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Community members can also help by being observant, said Carolyn Villegas, community development and education specialist for ECLI\/VIBS, a nonprofit victims\u2019 services agency in Islandia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cObviously, bruises are something you can see, but the emotional abuse is harder to detect, so look for behavioral changes,\u201d she said. \u201cAre you starting to see that somebody who normally goes to a rec center is all of a sudden not coming or they\u2019re showing up and they\u2019re disheveled? That\u2019s neglect. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve been doing faith-based training so that places of worship can be aware of what is happening in their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do suspect that a senior could be in danger, Villegas advises reaching out to local hotlines offering domestic violence support. \u201cThere are resources you can call that could be anonymous, like Adult Protective Services or the police department, and ask them to do a wellness check,\u201d she said.\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
