Communities across the US Virgin Islands are getting a boost in their work to become more livable for residents of all ages.

In English | El abuso de ancianos, como muchas formas de abuso doméstico, es un fenómeno a menudo oculto que afecta a cientos de miles de estadounidenses mayores. La explotación financiera es la forma más frecuente de este tipo de abuso. De hecho, 1 de cada 5 adultos mayores experimenta explotación financiera y, en promedio, pierde $120,000.

Financial exploitation is the most prevalent form of this type of abuse. In fact, 1 out of 5 older adults experience financial exploitation and on average loses $120,000.
For older people, living alone can be challenging, but during a natural disaster or health emergency, it can be frightening.
