Forms of Elder Abuse in Mesa Communities

Elder abuse encompasses various forms of mistreatment that cause harm to seniors. This may include:

• Physical Abuse: Caregivers or others inflict bodily harm through violent acts like hitting, slapping, pushing, kicking, or burning.
• Emotional Abuse: This may involve verbal attacks, threats, intimidation, humiliation, social isolation, and other acts that break down a senior’s sense of self-worth.
• Neglect: Caregivers deliberately fail to meet basic needs, including withholding food, water, medication, hygiene care, clean clothing, or necessary medical attention.
• Sexual Abuse: This encompasses any non-consensual sexual contact with an elderly person, including assault, molestation, or forcing them to watch sexual acts.
