In Arizona, it is illegal to abuse, unreasonable neglect or exploit a "vulnerable adult". In addition, the law imposes an affirmative duty on some individuals to report suspected abuse, neglect and exploitation to the authorities. "Abuse" is defined as physical or sexual abuse or confinement. "Neglect" occurs when an individual with a duty to care for another fails to discharge that duty. "Exploitation" refers to one individual taking financial advantage of another. While all of these activities may be illegal regardless of the age, ability or condition of the victim, the law makes special provisions for those who injure the confused, disabled or otherwise vulnerable adult. : Abuse, Neglect & Exploitation : Arizona Elder Law & Probate Litigation Blog
