Elder abuse is neglect 

Elder abuse can take many forms.
Neglect is the failure of a carer, or other responsible person, to meet an older person's basic needs such as food, housing and essential medical care. It includes, but is not limited to, providing inadequate food, drink or supervision, isolating the older person, allocating medication inappropriately and failing to meet physical needs (e.g. in relation to hygiene and skin care).
If you are experiencing abuse, or are concerned about an older person in your life, call the Elder Abuse Helpline on 1300 651 192 for confidential advice, support and referrals.
