Dr. K. Roger (Community Health Sciences, University of Manitoba) is leading a tri-provincial Prairie-based team since 2018 on underreporting of abuse of older adults (funded by PrairieAction Foundation).
This report explores the more recent events of COVID-19, and themes found to date in an ongoing media scan. The report frames an understanding of abuse of older adults in regards to what has been reported by the media about older adults living in the community in Canada during the time of COVID-19.
