Abstract

In 2011, the Baby Boom generation began to reach the age of 65 ushering in the beginning of a population aging boom remarkable for both its prevalence and proportion (West, Cole, Goodkind, & He, 2014). This shift in demographics predicts that 20% of US citizens will be over age 65 and 4.5% over the age of 85 by the year 2050 (Ortman, Velkoff, & Hogan, 2014). This aging of the US population has many wide-ranging implications, including changes in policy, community support, and social and family dynamics. As societal needs shift with the growing aging population, economic and perceptual changes are imperative in order to keep individuals safe and quality of life high. One threat to aging-well deserving of special focus is elder mistreatment.
