People age differently. You'd be surprised at how many people in their 70s and 80s want a job of some sort. Lots of people die not long after retiring, because they no longer feel useful. My mom's 85, and it's a shit situation for me to be laid up, but she perked up like you wouldn't believe, when she could help me out coming over to stay for a few weeks and cooking for me.
When I get older, I'll probably want a relatively easy, part-time job, not so much for the money, but to keep my mind sharp. Otherwise, I'd probably smoke and drink myself to death in a year or two. But it's nice to have an easy job that you're not at ALL worried about being fired from.
My point is that these stories aren't necessarily elder abuse. But when an elderly person is still working in their 70s because they have no choice and they HATE it, it's heartbreaking.
