Common Types of Elder Abuse

An elderly person may experience one or many forms of abuse at the hands of their abuser.

These offenses could include:

  • Physical abuse: Causing physical pain or injury. Threats of pain and injury are also included. This category also includes intentionally depriving a vulnerable elderly person of a basic need for living such as food or water.
  • Emotional abuse: Verbal or nonverbal actions that cause emotional pain or anguish.
  • Sexual abuse: Forcibly engaging in any kind of sexual contact or being forced to witness sexual acts.
  • Exploitation: Theft, concealment, or unauthorized/improper use of money or other property of an elderly person.
  • Neglect: Failure to provide the basic needs of a person such as food, shelter, cleanliness, or medical care.
