Types of Elder Abuse

Elder abuse is vastly understudied and underreported in the U.S. It is also incredibly common. While it is unthinkable that anyone would want to harm an elderly person, our Fullerton elder abuse attorneys know that the following types of abuse happen regularly in nursing homes and assisted living facilities:

• Physical elder abuse. This can include striking an elderly person in any way, restraining them, pushing, pulling, and more.
• Sexual elder abuse. This includes any sexual contact between an elderly resident and members of staff or volunteers at a nursing home.
• Psychological and emotional abuse. This can include threats to an elderly resident as well as isolation tactics.
• Neglect. Every elderly resident should have their basic needs met, including food, water, shelter, clothing, and necessary medical care.
• Financial elder abuse. Nursing home staff often have access to an elderly resident’s money and personal information.

Family members and friends of nursing home residents should look out for signs of abuse, including unexplained bruises or marks, behavioral changes, weight loss, and more.
