We have been contacted by Julie from The Mesothelioma Center (Asbestos.com):  Older people make up around 80% of those diagnosed with mesothelioma since it takes anywhere from 20-50 years after exposure to occur.  There is a free information page here:  https://www.asbestos.com/mesothelioma/ and further information here: Mesothelioma-Information 
Plus a futrther two from "across the pond" here:
Mesothelioma Cancer                          Asbestos-related diseases including lung cancer & Mesothelioma

3. Keeping Safe - "Elder Abuse":
Elder abuse is becoming a prevalent matter as more of the population begins to age.  These links are to a guide outlining the six types of elder abuse, signs to look for and how to report it:
