Vulnerable Adult & Elder Abuse

There are a number of laws in the various states that prohibit the abuse or exploitation of certain classes of people. The classes of persons who are protected generally include those who are particularly vulnerable to abuse and who may be incapable of defending themselves. The prohibition against child abuse is inherent in virtually all state statutory schemes and is widely known. Less well known, at least outside the long-term care industry, is the prohibition against the abuse or exploitations of the elderly and other vulnerable adults.
