False accusation by a caregiver of elderly abuse by another caregiver?
Elderly abuse is on the rise and even in some cases in some nursing homes or in the elderly person's home or if they are staying with one of their children. One must prove that the accused caregiver is actually abusing the elderly person. Some people use video cameras if they have hired a caregiver to come in an look after an elderly parent and in some cases children of the elderly who have a parent in a nursing home and suspected abuse have used video taping to catch the nurses involved actually abusing their parent. This is more common than some people realize, but there are good nursing homes. Taking care of the elderly is a daunting deed and some elderly people (due to no fault of their own) can be become stubborn such as not wanting to eat; not taking their medications; going to therapy; going to the doctors, etc. This can make an untrained caregiver very frustrated and if it continues for a long period of time there is more risk that the untrained caregiver may abuse of an elderly parent. The best one can do is to work on finding a safe place such as a nursing home or a trained caregiver to take over this difficult task of meeting the elderly person's needs. The elderly often have one or more health issues and they can be childlike in manner and many have Alzheimer's and cannot help themselves and are not responsible for what they say or do, so, to abuse the elderly is just as disgusting as abusing a child. If one can not prove the elderly is abused and if it is their parent or a relatives parents or even a friends parent then it is a good idea to discuss with the caregiver of their parent that it is time to get in a professional caregiver or their parent needs to be in a nursing home. If a caregiver is falsely accused then they can set up their own video camera so their duties will be monitored. One has to prove that caregiver has abused that elderly person. It would also be wise to seek legal counsel.
