Why may adults be vulnerable to harm or abuse and where may this happen?

Adults may be vulnerable to harm or abuse due to factors such as physical or cognitive impairments, social isolation, financial dependency, or mental health issues. These vulnerabilities can occur in various settings, including their own homes, healthcare facilities, assisted living environments, or community spaces. Additionally, power imbalances in relationships, such as those between caregivers and recipients, can further expose adults to potential abuse. Awareness and support systems are crucial in protecting vulnerable individuals from such harm.
