No one should have to spend the golden years of their life in pain and fear, but unfortunately each year thousands of older persons are abused, neglected and exploited by caretakers, family members, or nursing homes. Many victims are elderly, frail, and vulnerable. They depend on others to meet their most basic needs.
Elder abuse is a general term used to describe one or more of the following:
- Neglect - failure of a caretaker to provide goods or services necessary to avoid physical harm, mental anguish or mental illness, e.g., abandonment, denial of food or health related services.
- Sexual abuse - non-consensual sexual conduct of any kind.
- Emotional or psychological mental anguish - humiliation, intimidation, or threats
- Financial or material exploitation- using the resources of an older person, without his/her consent for someone else's benefit.
