Abuse has four categories:
- Physical abuse which means the intentional infliction of bodily injuries
- Emotional abuse which includes verbal assault, threats, intimidation, isolation or other acts that cause psychological or emotional trauma
- Financial abuse which means misappropriation or the taking of any assets through any fraudulent act or conduct, and
- Neglect, which means the deprivation of, or the failure to exercise
reasonable care in the provision of custodial care services, including
- Failure to assist in personal hygiene
- Failure to provide basic necessities, food, water, clothing and shelter
- Failure to provide necessary medical care
- Failure to prevent malnutrition or dehydration and
- Failure to protect from health and safety hazards.
While the majority of abusers are usually the family members of the elderly or the dependent adult, abuse may also be committed by professional conservators, care givers or nursing homes to whom the care of an elderly or dependent adult has been entrusted. Loss for pain and suffering of even a deceased elderly or dependent adult, punitive damages and attorney’s fees may be recovered if it is proved that the abuse was reckless, malicious, fraudulent or oppressive
