Warning signs of elder abuse
Older members of the community, particularly those in their own homes, can be easy targets for financial exploitation through support workers, or even members of their own family. Money and personal items of value may go missing, which can be explained away by the aging person’s poor memory or declining mental clarity.
In some cases, bank accounts are accessed and used fraudulently, houses are sold against the elder owner’s will, or ownership may even be signed over to caregivers.
-
Physical: rough handling or hitting, pushing and shoving, sedating with medication, restraining.
-
Sexual: coercion into unwanted sexual activity, providing care in exchange for sexual favours, using socially offending language.
-
Emotional and psychological: belittling the older person, name calling, shouting, removing decision making powers.
-
Financial: misusing finances, withholding knowledge of their bank balance, selling property, and forcing changes to legal documents.
-
Neglect: not washing the older person, withholding medication or medical care, refusing assistance following an accident, abandonment for long periods.
