This was filmed in Los Angeles, California and features an Elder Justice Advocate providing a description of the issue of having many different laws and definitions of Elder Abuse around the USA. With a dedicated funding stream to support Elder Abuse prevention and intervention efforts around the country along with establishing research priorities and a national data repository, the Elder Justice Act will help to alleviate some of these concerns.
