What types of things are considered abuse?

  • Neglect is the failure of an adult to provide the goods or services necessary for his or her own safety and/or well-being, such as avoiding physical harm, mental anguish or mental illness  or the failure of a caretaker to provide such goods or services. Neglect includes Abandonment which means desertion of an adult by a caretaker without having made provisions for transfer of the adult’s care.
  • Self -Neglect is the deprivation or withholding of daily living needs by older adults themselves or by their caregivers.
  • Exploitation is the unlawful or improper act of a person using an adult or his/her resources for monetary or personal benefit, profit or gain.
  • Physical abuse is the intentional use of physical force that results in injury, pain or impairment. It includes pushing, hitting, slapping, pinching and other ways of physically harming a person. It can also mean placing an individual in incorrect positions, force feeding, restraining or giving medication without the person’s knowledge.
  • Emotional abuse occurs when a person is threatened, humiliated, intimidated or otherwise psychologically hurt. It includes the violation of an adult’s right to make decisions and the loss of his or her privacy.
  • Sexual abuse includes rape or other unwanted, non-consensual sexual contact, but it can also mean forced or coerced nudity, exhibitionism and other non-touching sexual situations, regardless of the age of the perpetrator.
