THE SILENT EPIDEMIC
The Crisis in Senior & Longterm Care
ELDER ABUSE: A GROWING CRISIS
1 in 6
seniors over the age of 60 experience some form of elder abuse in nursing homes and LTCs, yet only 1 in 14 cases are reported
Elder abuse continues to increase, with millions suffering in silence. Often, seniors feel powerless to report their abuse due to fear, isolation, or lack of support. This underreporting allows the problem to persist unchecked, leaving many vulnerable seniors to endure continued harm. Advanced technology is key to detecting abuse early and providing timely interventions. (World Health Organization (WHO))
HOSPITALIZATIONS TRIPLE DUE TO ABUSE & NEGLECT
3x More
elder abuse & neglect victims are 3X more likely to be hospitalized than their non-abused counterparts.
Physical, emotional, and neglect-related abuse significantly weakens seniors, leading to more frequent and severe medical complications. These conditions often go untreated, resulting in emergency hospitalizations. Abuse not only exacerbates existing health issues but also increases the chances of premature death. The use of advanced alert systems can help detect signs of abuse & neglect early, reducing the need for critical interventions. (National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI))
NEGLECT IN NURSING HOMES
44%
of residents in nursing homes report being abused
95%
of residents in nursing homes have witnessed abuse or neglect of another resident
Nursing homes, where our seniors should feel the most protected, have become environments where abuse and neglect are rampant. Understaffing, inadequate training, and insufficient oversight create breeding grounds for neglect, leaving seniors to suffer in silence. Our mission is to fund technology that alerts caregivers to issues before they escalate, ensuring that seniors are treated with the dignity and care they deserve. (Nursing Home Abuse Center)
THE UNREPORTED CRISIS
By 2050
the population of people aged 60 and older will double, reaching 2.1 billion.
As the senior population grows, the potential for abuse increases exponentially, straining already fragile care systems. Without early intervention and advanced monitoring technology, seniors face the threat of neglect, abuse, and unsafe living conditions. It's imperative that we evolve with this demographic shift, adopting innovative technology to ensure safer futures for our aging population. (World Health Organization (WHO))

RESULTS THAT MATTER
Real Solutions, Real Impact
At H.E.A.R.T. 4 Seniors Foundation, our investment in timely incontinence monitoring with smart briefs has been one of our greatest successes. This advanced technology ensures that seniors receive immediate care, reducing the risks of infection and discomfort, and preserving their dignity.
However, technology has often overlooked seniors and those with disabilities, focusing instead on the young and athletic. Without our foundation's efforts, seniors would continue to be left behind when it comes to technological advances in their care. We are changing that narrative. The technology we support is producing measurable results, improving response times, reducing hospitalizations, and creating a safer environment for seniors.
With your help, we will continue to change the world of senior care without the government. Together, we can ensure no senior is left behind!

At H.E.A.R.T. 4 Seniors Foundation, we believe that technology is key to preventing harm and safeguarding the well-being of seniors and those with disabilities in nursing homes and long-term care facilities. The innovative alert systems we support are not funded by government programs, meaning they would otherwise be unavailable to those who need them most. These systems detect potential emergencies before they occur, enabling healthcare professionals to respond quickly and efficiently. This proactive approach reduces hospitalizations, prevents abuse & neglect, and ensures that patients can live with the safety and dignity they deserve. By funding advanced technologies, we are creating a future where quality care is accessible to all, restoring dignity to those who need it most.
