Identifying Signs of Elder Abuse
Elder abuse can come in many forms, including physical violence, emotional manipulation, neglect of basic needs, or abandonment. The most reliable way to identify elder abuse is to communicate regularly and openly with your loved ones.
Take immediate action if you notice any unusual signs that may indicate abuse, such as the following:
- Unexplained bruises, cuts, burns, or other physical injuries
- Sudden weight loss or signs of dehydration
- Poor hygiene or unsanitary living conditions
- Untreated medical conditions or missed medications
- Sudden changes in behavior
- Anxiety around certain caregivers
- Isolation from friends and family members
Benefits of Legal Representation in Elder Abuse Cases
When an elderly person is being abused, their family has the right to take legal action against the perpetrator.

At Knapp & Roberts, our lawyers help by conducting thorough investigations to uncover all forms of abuse and document evidence.
