Those with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dimentia are particularly susceptible to abuse because they often cannot voice their own objections, concerns or wishes. It can also be difficult for loved ones to recognize abuse because communication is difficult or impossible.
Nursing home abuse is often defined as an intentional act that results in emotional, physical, sexual, psychological or financial injury. Neglect is also a form of abuse, and can involve withholding necessary care or basic needs, including medical care, shelter, food, water or protection from harm.
The following signs of nursing home abuse may indicate your loved one is not receiving adequate care:
Alzheimer’s patients are also susceptible to people who may take advantage of their detached condition by committing acts of theft or fraud against them, leaving them deep in financial trouble.
It can often be difficult to recognize abuse happening to those living with Alzheimer’s disease. Beware of any sings that may differ from your loved one’s typical behavior or any increase in symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.
