Elder Abuse
Captions available
The idea
Elder abuse occurs when a caretaker intentionally deprives an older person of care or harms them, spanning physical, financial, and neglect categories.
In practice
Sudden changes to a will, untreated bed sores, and unexplained bruising are recognized warning signs in different categories.
Where people slip
This entry names categories for recognition only; suspected abuse should be reported to adult protective services, not assessed at home.
