In April 2004 in New Zealand, a report from the organisation Age Concern
drew attention to the fact that "...about a quarter of elderly people
who put someone they trust in charge of their personal and financial
affairs are then abused by that person."
Elder abuse and neglect is defined by Age Concern New Zealand as "when a person aged 65 years or more experiences harmful physical, psychological, sexual, material or social effects caused by the behaviour of another person with whom they have a relationship implying trust."
