What is Elder Abuse?
New York defines elderly abuse into five main categories:
- Physical Abuse – Intentional use of force that results in pain, injury, impairment or even death of an elderly person. Examples of physical abuse include slapping, biting, hitting, punching, burning or bruising.
- Emotional Abuse – This is when the abuser willfully inflicts emotional pain. Examples of this type of abuse include humiliating, intimidating or isolating.
- Sexual Abuse – This is non-consensual activity of any kind.
- Financial Abuse or Exploitation – This is the improper use of an elderly person’s money, property or personal resources. Common signs of financial abuse include fraud, embezzlement and forgery.
- Neglect (Passive and Active) – Examples of active neglect include depriving an elderly person of food, water or shelter. Passive neglect is the result of a caregiver’s inadequate knowledge to fulfill care-taking responsibilities.
- Self Neglect - An elder’s inability to perform basic tasks to take care of himself or herself due to physical and/or mental impairments.
