caregivers

اك
© Educating others about how to
recognize and report elder abuse
صفحه 62:
Reporting elder abuse

or exploited, tell at
least one person.
Tell your doctor, a
friend, or a family
member whom you
trust.

Instructions to a concerned
friend or family member
Watch for warning signs that might indicate elder
abuse. If you suspect abuse, report it.
Take a look at the elder’s medications. Does the
amount in the vial matched with the date of the
prescription?
Watch for possible financial abuse. Ask the elder if
he may scan bank accounts and credit card
statements for unauthorized transactions.
Call and visit as often as you can. Help the elder
consider you a trusted confidante.
Offer to stay with the elder so the caregiver can have
a break — on a regular basis, if you can.
