Signs of Elder Abuse
Many elder abuse victims are unable or unwilling to communicate that they are being victimized. This can be due to medical conditions, embarrassment, or intimidation. Therefore, it is often up to family members to discover and report that abuse is taking place. Warning signs include sudden changes in behavior, rapid weight loss, poor hygiene and unexplained injuries.
Common Types of Elder Abuse
- Mental Abuse - staffers have been known to humiliate or isolate patients as punishment
- Medical neglect - patients are often over-medicated in order minimize work for the staff, and medical problems like bed sores are often untreated
- Physical Abuse - the use of restraints to keep patients in bed is a common form of physical abuse, while other patients have been beaten and sexually assaulted
- Financial Exploitation - property may be stolen or sold, and wills may be altered without family knowledge or consent
