1. Physical abuse the infliction of pain or injury, physical coercion, or physical or drug induced restraint.
2. Psychological or emotional abuse the infliction of mental anguish.

4. Sexual abuse non-consensual sexual contact of any kind with the older person.
5. Neglect the refusal or failure to fulfil a caregiving obligation. This may or may not involve a conscious and intentional attempt

Signs of Violence:
1. Loss of temper on a daily basis.
2. Frequent physical fighting.
3. Significant vandalism or property damage.
4. Increase in use of drugs or alcohol.
5. Increase in risk-taking behavior.
The most common motivations for violence can be viewed as inappropriate attempts to handle emotions. Often, violence is the
medium used by an individual to openly express their feelings such as anger, frustration, or sadness. Other times, violence can be
considered as a form of manipulation for individuals to try and get what they want or need. Aggressive behavior can also be used as a
form of retaliation; a means by which one uses to even the score. Finally, violent behavior is sometimes caused because people grow
up seeing violence openly displayed. Violence then becomes learned as an “appropriate” way to behave.
