Elder's Abuse - HHA & CNA

As a Home Health Aide (HHA), you play a vital role in the lives of the elderly individuals you care for. Many of your clients may be vulnerable due to age, illness, or isolation—and sadly, some may become victims of abuse or neglect.

This training will help you understand what elder abuse is, how to recognize the warning signs, and most importantly, how to respond. By learning how to identify and report abuse, you can help protect your clients and ensure they receive the respect, dignity, and care they deserve.

Your awareness could be the first step in stopping abuse and saving a life.

• Define elder abuse and its different types

• Recognize signs and symptoms of abuse

• Understand your legal and ethical responsibilities

• Know how to respond and report suspected abuse
