On this edition of Your Call, we’ll discuss issues facing elderly people. Cases of elder abuse skyrocketed during the pandemic. A Yale study found that abuse cases jumped 83.6% over pre-pandemic estimates. Senior poverty also rose last year, with nearly 1 in 4 people 65 and older making less than $19,000 dollars per year. How will Republican control of the House affect the future of Medicare, Social Security, and other programs crucial to the health and wellbeing of seniors? We'll also speak to an advocate with Ashby Village, an East Bay non-profit organization that connects older adults with other seniors and resources to help them age well and remain active.
