Elder abuse includes physical, sexual, financial, emotional/psychological, neglect/abandonment, and self-neglect of anyone age 60+. Though the definition of elder abuse may vary by state, elder abuse is widely believed to be committed by those in a trusting relationship with the older adult. Elder abuse hotlines are available for those who need assistance in these cases. Relay your concerns to the local adult protective services, long-term care ombudsman, or the police.
