Signs of Elder Abuse

Signs of elder abuse include physical indicators such as bruises, burns, or unexplained injuries; emotional signs like withdrawal, anxiety, or sudden mood changes; neglect symptoms such as malnutrition, poor hygiene, or untreated health issues; financial exploitation, including missing valuables or sudden bank activity; and behavioral changes like fearfulness or reluctance to speak openly. If you notice these signs, it’s important to take them seriously and seek help from professionals or authorities to ensure the safety and well-being of the elder.
