The answer is absolutely yes, for all the reasons you said.
I'm going to add another layer. In cases of elder abuse, particularly of women, sometimes the person who is the perpetrator is their child. It is much more complex to untangle that relationship, especially when a parent feels a lot of responsibility for the behaviour of their child and the relationship with their child. They can't separate themselves in the same way. Therefore, it adds another layer of complexity.
Then, of course, we have the additional vulnerabilities that seniors have in terms of their capacity for their own caregiving, depending on where they are in the journey of their lives.
Absolutely. It's for the reasons you said, as well as additional ones.
