Hello! My name is Victoria Gutierrez, I am a civil litigation attorney at Goyette, Ruano + Thompson. Recognizing the signs of elder abuse is essential to keeping our elderly population safe and protected. Today I discuss “What are the 7 signs of elder abuse?” which include: 1) Abandonment, 2) Physical Abuse, 3) Emotional Abuse, 4) Neglect, 5) Financial Abuse, 6) Self-Neglect, 7) Sexual Abuse. If you, a family member, or friend/acquaintance believe you are experiencing elder abuse, please give us a call at 916-851-1900, and we would love to discuss the specifics of your potential case. The most important piece of advice I can give you is document, document, document what is occurring, including taking photos, keeping copies of letters that include the date, any emails sent/received, text messages, etc. The better you keep track of your documented complaints, the stronger your potential case will be. Take care.
