What are the types of
elder abuse?
Physical Abuse: Slapping or hitting seniors can cause bruising, cuts, or broken bones. Physical abuse also includes forced confinement and not allowing seniors to get medical help.
Emotional/Psychological Abuse: Seniors may show low self-esteem, fear, anxiety, or withdrawal as a result of being insulted, frightened, threatened, ignored, or isolated.
Financial Abuse: Financial abuse can include fraud, theft, misuse of a Power of Attorney, and forced sale of belongings. Stealing money from a senior may cause their standard of living to decrease and they may not have enough food, clothing, or medication.
Sexual Abuse: Seniors who have been sexually abused may act fearful and anxious or have bruising and infections.
Neglect: Leaving seniors without food, assistance, or access to medical treatment are examples of caregiver neglect. Neglect also includes self-neglect, which refers to seniors who are unable to care for themselves.
This brochure was prepared by The Council on Aging of Ottawa – adapted from the Nova Scotia Senior Citizens’ Secretariat, Elder Abuse Strategy Committee.
| Translation - Portuguese
Quais são os tipos de abusos sofridos pelos idosos?
Abuso físico: Dar bofetadas ou bater nos idosos pode provocar contusões, feridas ou ossos partidos. O abuso físico é também fechar os idosos em casa e não lhes permitir o acesso aos cuidados médicos.
Abuso emocional ou psicológico: Os idosos que são insultados, assustados, ameaçados, ignorados ou isolados podem sentir uma auto-estima fraca, medo, ansiedade e carências afectivas.
Exploração financeira: A exploração financeira é fraude, roubo, é abusar das procurações e forçar os idosos a vender os seus bens. Roubar dinheiro a um idoso pode baixar o seu nível de vida impedindo-o de ter comida suficiente, roupas ou medicamentos.
Abuso sexual: Os idosos vítimas de abuso sexual podem ter um comportamento medroso, ansioso, terem nódoas negras e infecções.
Negligência: Deixar os idosos sem comida, assistência ou acesso a cuidados médicos são exemplos de negligência por parte dos seus cuidadores. Negligenciar é também auto-negligência: quer dizer que os idosos são incapazes de cuidar deles próprios.

BILINGUAL TRANSLATOR
TRANSLATIONS INTO FRENCH AND PORTUGUESE
*********************************************************
*********************************************************
CONTACT ME BY EMAIL NOW!
Hello,
I'm a freelance bilingual translator (French/Portuguese) but I also provide professional translation services for English into French and into Portuguese, Spanish into French and into Portuguese.
I live in Lisbon in Portugal since 2005 but I lived in Saint-Tropez (for 20 years) in the French Riviera and I have a degree in Applied Foreign Languages (Spanish/English) from the University of Aix en Provence.
Being comfortable in both Portuguese and French, I deliver a translation that reads like an original. And above all, I am committed to meeting my client’s deadlines!
In order not lose contact with my other mother tongue (French), I use several methods: I travel several times a year to France (it is incredible how it can refresh everything you might be forgetting!), I subscribe a French TV channel (which helps me keep up with news, idioms, culture, etc, in my daily life), I read French online newspapers, I talk to my friends on the phone (mostly on Skype and MSN), and I always keep my ears tuned to the French musical scene, which is particular influential in language, and gives me a lot of inspiration to carry on with my work.
That's why my translations are adapted to meet the language, cultural and social requirements of target markets.
My customers are guaranteed:
* High-quality translation texts that fully convey the meaning and intent of your source documents; the finished text will read as if it was originally written in the French or Portuguese language
* Effective localization for French-speaking or Portuguese-speaking markets
* Precise translation of technical terms such that “nothing is lost in the translation”
* Competent translation without any guesswork
* Firm and competitive prices
* Timely delivery of services such that your deadlines are met
* Editing and proof-reading of documents
Please note:
* I own an extensive reference library, and I am equipped with many dictionaries and CD Roms.
* I have access to an extensive worldwide network of contacts for consultation and support in a vast array of fields, which enables accurate and rapid cross-checking of completed work as an additional quality-control measure.
Feel free to contact me for further details!
