Elder Abuse in People Living with Dementia: Considerations for Prevention, Detection and Interventio

On June 23, 2021 from 2-3 p.m. ET, please join the National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center for the webinar, Elder Abuse in People Living with Dementia: Considerations for Prevention, Detection and Intervention. A description of the webinar and registration information follows.

 

Elder mistreatment is a common phenomenon in our society, particularly among older adults with cognitive impairment and dementia. Yet there is hope. Using practical clinical and legal tools, we can look for high-risk situations and prevent abuse, and we can detect abuse at early stages to stop it from getting worse. In this webinar, conducted by a physician and an attorney with years of practical experience in the field, we will discuss indicators that should raise concern, provide practical tips on when and how to intervene, and pay particular attention to the complicated issue of capacity.
