New York Elder Abuse Lawyers - Protecting Seniors' Rights & Dignity
When nursing homes and caregivers fail to protect vulnerable seniors, we fight for justice and compensation.
The Seven Types of Elder Abuse in New York Care Facilities
Elder abuse takes many forms, and vulnerable seniors often suffer in silence. Physical abuse includes hitting, pushing, restraining, or inappropriate use of medications. Emotional abuse involves verbal threats, humiliation, isolation, or intimidation. Sexual abuse encompasses any unwanted sexual contact or activity. Financial abuse includes theft, fraud, or misuse of an elderly person’s money or property.
Neglect occurs when caregivers fail to provide basic needs like food, water, medication, hygiene, or medical care. Self-neglect happens when seniors can no longer care for themselves safely. Abandonment involves deserting an elderly person who needs assistance. Each form of abuse can cause serious physical and psychological harm that may be irreversible.

Financial Elder Abuse: Protecting Your Loved One's Assets
Financial elder abuse costs American seniors over $36 billion annually. Common schemes include caregivers stealing cash or valuables, forging signatures on checks or legal documents, using seniors’ credit cards without permission, and manipulating vulnerable adults into changing wills or power of attorney documents.
Nursing home staff may exploit residents by charging for services not provided, billing for higher levels of care than delivered, or pressuring families into unnecessary upgrades. Romance scams, investment fraud, and identity theft also target seniors in care facilities who may be isolated from family oversight.
