DEPENDENT ADULT ABUSE

Protecting Vulnerable Adults From Neglect, Exploitation, and Unsafe Care

Dependent adults—ages 18 to 64 who need help due to physical or cognitive limitations—are entitled to dignity, safety, and proper care. When caregivers or facilities fail to protect them, the results can be devastating.

Abuse under EADACPA includes:
• Neglect or failure to provide basic care
• Physical abuse or rough handling
• Unexplained injuries or fractures
• Medication errors or overmedication
• Failure to monitor medical conditions
• Dehydration, malnutrition, or sudden weight loss
• Financial manipulation or exploitation
• Abandonment or lack of supervision
• Unsafe or unsanitary living conditions

Dependent adults often rely on caregivers for everything—when that care breaks down, harm follows quickly.

WHERE ABUSE HAPPENS

Common Places Dependent Adult Abuse Occurs:
• Skilled nursing facilities
• Assisted living / RCFE communities
• Group homes
• Rehabilitation centers
• Adult day programs
• In-home caregiver arrangements
• Long-term care facilities

Abuse can happen in both licensed facilities and private homes—families are often not told what truly occurred. Warning Signs to Watch For:
• Sudden behavioral changes
• Fearfulness or withdrawal
• Poor hygiene
• Untreated wounds or infections
• Bedsores
• Frequent or unexplained falls
• Missing medications
• Unexplained hospitalizations
• Caregivers avoiding questions

If something feels wrong, it usually is.
