Physical Abuse:

Physical abuse in residential care settings can cause a range of injuries, such as fractures, burns, bruises, and dislocations. Improper use of involuntary restraints is also considered a form of physical abuse in these environments. It is crucial to identify and address such mistreatment to safeguard the safety and welfare of residents.

Financial Abuse:

Financial exploitation can manifest in various forms, including the unauthorized utilization of credit cards, theft of checks or cash, unauthorized access to bank accounts, or pilfering valuable personal belongings like jewelry and electronics. Additionally, overcharging for services and billing for services not rendered are also considered instances of financial abuse.

Emotional Abuse:

Emotional abuse can appear in the form of alterations in the victim’s personality, emotional withdrawal, heightened anxiety, feelings of depression, or profound despondency.

Sexual Abuse:

Symptoms of sexual abuse encompass physical ailments like sexually transmitted diseases, urinary infections, inexplicable bleeding, and pelvic pain. Emotionally, victims of sexual abuse may exhibit fear or anxiety upon the departure of visitors or when left alone with the suspected abuser.

Basic Needs Neglect:

Neglecting basic needs involves withholding food, water, sleep, essential comfort, personal hygiene services, or personal safety from the victim.

Medical Neglect:

Medical neglect encompasses refusing treatment for the victim, providing incorrect medications, skipping medication doses, and neglecting to address medical conditions.
