Project on Guardianship and Elderabuse¶
With advances in healthcare, people are living longer.
The recent article on Guardianship and Elderabuse by The New Yorker titled How the Elderly Lose Their Rights, highlights the individual rights violations of the elderly. After reading the article, think of ways that data can be used to help others to understand the problem and take action.
Some things that can be done¶
- cull available state data and curate a list of resources by state
- look at the places written about in the article and see if there are open data sets related to the problem
- create a dataset of publicly available resources for the elderly and their families related to guardianship
- create a dataset of academic research on eldercare and guardianship
