Elder abuse is more common than you think. And if you’re Childfree or aging solo, you might be more vulnerable to it unless you have a plan in place.

In this episode, Dr. Jay and Bri talk through the financial and emotional realities of elder abuse, how it shows up in real life, and what it means to protect yourself or your loved ones as you age.
