    Elder Maltreatment

    • Elder abuse includes physical, emotional, sexual abuse, exploitation, neglect, and abandonment.
    • Common offenders include family members and caregivers, especially in nursing homes or assisted living settings.
    • Vulnerable elders may struggle to report abuse due to conditions like dementia and emotional distress, contributing to an underreported prevalence.

    • Both men and women can experience IPV, which often involves social isolation and threats to personal safety.

    Consequences of IPV

    • Sexual trauma consequences can include unintended pregnancy, infections, and psychological distress.
    • Violence during pregnancy poses risks to both mother and fetus.
