Our government takes a strong stand against senior abuse. Older adults have the right to live safely and manage their own affairs.
When someone violates those rights and causes harm, that`s abuse. Often the abuser is someone in a position of trust, like a family member, friend, or caregiver.
The different forms that abuse can take include:
* financial abuse
* emotional abuse
* violation of rights and freedoms
* neglect
* sexual abuse
* physical abuse
