The worst nightmare of any family is to realize that their beloved elders have fallen victim to elder abuse/neglect. Defining ‘neglect’ is quite difficult as it can be in numerous forms and every situation is unique to the next.

As unsettling as it is to imagine, thousands of elders fall prey to abuse and/or neglect such as physical, psychological, financial, sexual abuse as well as abandonment and neglect. Abuse of the elderly could happen in nursing homes, elder care centers or even at home. Typically, the perpetrators of elder abuse are anyone the elder trusts or in a position of authority.

Just as an elderly person’s needs vary, so do the forms of neglect. Typically they include any denial of needs related to shelter, food, clothing, hygiene and or medical care. Signs of elder abuse may include depression, withdrawal, scared or anxious to take any decisions, too much sleep or lack of sleep, avoiding or hiding information from a doctor or caregiver, and even running away from their residence.
