The most common form of elder abuse is neglect. In fact, data suggests that over 58% of elder abuse cases are caused by neglect. Physical, emotional, and monetary neglect are all examples of neglect. Physical neglect occurs when a caregiver or other parties intentionally deny a senior of essential items or care, such as failing to provide preventative health measures or proper hygiene. The senior may be purposefully isolated from the outside world due to emotional neglect, resulting in loneliness and depression. Financial neglect is the deliberate failure to use available financial resources to care for a senior, such as failing to pay for medical care or medications despite having the means to do so. Some effects of neglect include:
Emotional, or psychological, abuse is purposefully causing a senior citizen mental anguish. This can be in the form of threats, isolation, insults or even humiliation. Signs of emotional abuse are:

This might involve improperly restraining a senior as well as pushing, hitting, or forcibly feeding him or her. The wrong medication being given to an elderly person is also included. Physical abuse can lead to unexplained bruises, broken bones, medication overdoses, or adverse drug reactions from drugs that weren’t prescribed for the senior or weren’t given in the right dosage.
