  4. Physical & Emotional Abuse This physical abuse is when the person responsible for the elderly threatens and neglects the older person causing physical injuries, pain and impairment. Administering drugs inappropriately and restrains is also included in this category. Emotional abuse where the older person is treated in a way that causes emotional pain.

  5. Sexual & Neglect Abuse Sexual abuse is also common. An older person, even when frail, has a right to his or her body and nobody should touch them in an unwelcome manner. Neglect is one of the most common categories of elder abuse. Caregivers simply fail to fulfill their obligations.
