This study in elder abuse enlightens us of the many facets of elder abuse. From the first known medical report of abuse of an older person made in 1975 to the present day, it is a rising stigma against our modern day technology and, there is no evidence of it going away. Whether: emotional neglect, institutional neglect, self-neglect, spousal neglect, intentional or not, our older population is taking the brunt of the busyness of this modern era.
Maltreatment & Self Abuse in the Elderly (exerts taken from: The A-to-Z Guide to Elder Care) will alert you to the abuse of elders in the institutional setting as well as elders in the community, or perhaps, elders admitted to your facility. You will gain valuable insight on what to watch out for and how to confront the perpetrators of this heinous crime against our elders.
