1. Physical
2. Sexual
3. Emotional

They also discuss how and when to report the abuse, ways to prevent it, and or minimize abuse if all possible.
If you know or even suspect any form of elder abuse and or neglect please report it to 1-800-96-ABUSE. Not only is it the right thing to do, but is also the law.
