How do physical changes in the elderly impact on their family?
Since an elderly person is changing in their body. It breaks down over time and they are not able to do so much anymore. Therefore depend on there family to take care of them, just how one day they took care of you when you were small and incapable of doing a lot. Each family has their own way of dealing with the situation. Very seldom are both spouses alive when an elderly person needs help looking after themselves. A lot also depends on how intact the elderly person's mental capacity may be. When a parent is kept at home (either their own or with another family member), it can be a drain on the energy of the caretaker and sometimes on the family's financial resources. It is extremely difficult emotionally to place a family member in an institutional setting but can sometimes be necessary when the physical demands of care are beyond the family members strength or skill. The more incapacity of the elderly, the more strain there is on the family.
How do you defend against false allegations of elder abuse?
Caregivers of parents is an extremely difficult job especially when the elderly parent could have Dementia or Alzheimer's. Dementia and Alzheimer's makes the elderly parent paranoid (they really believe what they say is happening to them); they can sometimes be destructive; wander away from home; lash out verbally and physically at their caregiver or tell other members of the family how terribly they are treated when, in fact, they are not. It is often the best no matter how painful to put the elderly parent into a decent nursing home where trained nurses can handle the situation and medications can safely be given to help the elderly patient have some peace of mind. Try to remember that your elderly parent is now a shadow of their former self and they drift in and out of recognizing you or, they may possibly not remember you at all and remember another member of the family or even one of your friends and this is no reflection on you. Try to remember the good memories you had with your elderly parent instead of how they are behaving now.
How do you handle a verbally abusive 88 year old male?
* It is not uncommon for some men to become abusive in their 80's. There are many reasons for this: Medications; aging in general or Dementia (a sister to Alzheimer's.) Try getting this man into your family doctor for a complete physical and ask to have him tested for Dementia. If he will not listen to you have another member try to get him to the doctor. As some elderly age they can become frustrated from pain; perhaps medications or other diseases they may have (suffering from a stroke or heart attack; diabetes, etc.) If the elderly person cannot be controlled and it's difficult for the caregiver of the family then a Nursing Home may have to be considered.
