Abstract
Elder abuse is the infliction of physical, emotional/psychological, sexual or financial harm on an older adult. Elder abuse can also take the form of intentional or unintentional neglect of an older adult by the caregiver. Like other forms of abuse, elder abuse is a complex problem, and it is easy for people to have misconceptions about it. Many people who hear "elder abuse and neglect" think about older people who live in nursing homes or older relatives who live all alone and never have visitors. But elder abuse is not just a problem of older people living on the margins of our everyday life. It is right in our midst: Most incidents of elder abuse don't happen in nursing homes and other residential settings. Most elder abuse and neglect takes place at home. There is no single pattern of elder abuse. It isn't just older adults who have poor physical health or cognitive impairments who are vulnerable to abuse.
