- Albertans would be shocked if they knew that the Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship Commission did not protect the elderly at all even when complaints are filed with them. Often doctors and nurses know about the abuse, but they go unreported. The best thing to do is to use technology such as a camcorder, etc., hidden well either in the private home of the caregiver for the elderly person or hidden in the room at the nursing home. Many Canadians have used this method to catch especially nurses; aides and personal caregivers often brutally harming the elderly person in their care. Once an individual has proof they can then take it to the lawyer. The police can do very little in this situation; but the proof and a good lawyer will be sure the elderly are protected.
