Elder Care
The elderly and dependent adults can become vulnerable citizens. In nursing homes or other healthcare
facilities a patient may be abused or neglected.
Some examples include:
- Not attending to daily needs such as hygiene, food, clothing, or shelter
- Not providing proper nursing care such as leaving a patient unattended for hours
- Physical abuse which involves battery and/or sexual exploitation
- Financial abuse which involves fraud or misuse of money
