The Community Care Secretariat has appealed to the public to be vigilant and report any suspected abuse on the elderly.

On the occasion of World Elderly Abuse Day, the secretariat explained abuse was normally committed by anyone whom the elderly trusted and could be psychological, physical, sexual, emotional, social or financial.

Anyone who has any suspicious of such abuse should contact the social workers at the Elderly Department on 2148 5120 to investigate the report and provide necessary assistance.
