Elder Abuse Definition

Elder abuse is the loss or harm inflicted upon an elderly person in Oregon.  The types of abuse are generally categorized as follows:

  1. Physical abuse, which is the infliction of pain on an elderly person that results in injury, impairment or even death.
  2. Emotional or Psychological abuse, which is a result of verbal and non-verbal actions such as harassment, threats or isolation.
  3. Neglect, which is the failure of a caregiver to fulfill his or her responsibilities such as providing adequate amounts of food and water or shelter.
  4. Sexual abuse is any form of non-consensual sexual activity.
  5. Financial abuse (exploitation) is the illegal and/or improper use of an elderly person’s money, property or resources for gain.

Oregon encourages anyone who suspects or witnesses elder abuse to report it immediately to the appropriate authorities.  If the victim is in immediate danger, contact 9-1-1.
