Elder abuse occurs when a caretaker intentionally deprives an older person of care or harms them. Different types of abuse may be inflicted by various individuals, including family members, health professionals, or nursing care staff.

Reporting abuse or suspected abuse to Adult Protective Services is crucial in ensuring the safety and well-being of the elderly. Failure to report such suspicions can lead to prolonged suffering for the victims.
