Researchers at the University of South Australia and Flinders University say older Australians are increasingly falling victim to financial abuse from their adult children.

Providing aged care to Brisbane and the southern end of the Gold Coast, Tall Trees are concerned about the issue for seniors.

Financial abuse and family conflicts over money can cause a great deal of distress to older people, which is the last thing Tall Trees would like to see in the aged care community.

Financial abuse is the most common type of abuse against older people, and often accompanied by emotional exploitation.

At Tall Trees we do not just offer nursing care but also ensure that all our staff are friendly and approachable so residents can feel safe in speaking up about any issues they may have in their lives.

By ensuring residents feel comfortable expressing their concerns with our staff, we are able to help them if they are experiencing any form of abuse or emotional distress.
