Fight Back Against Memory Care Unit Abuse
Seniors with Alzheimer’s, dementia and other cognitive disorders require a special level of care. They are undoubtedly the most vulnerable population in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Because they may be suffering from confusion and disorientation, these residents are especially prone to wandering off and hurting themselves. Round-the-clock supervision – and placement in a secured memory care unit – is often necessary to keep them safe.
Sadly, the very facilities that are entrusted with their care sometimes betray that trust in the worst ways imaginable. They fail to monitor patients, which can lead to falls and elopements (wandering off). They neglect patients, resulting in life-threatening bedsores, infections, malnutrition and other horrors. They don’t protect patients from aggression or abuse at the hands of other residents. Or, the staff members themselves inflict heinous abuse – physical, emotional or sexual – on unsuspecting patients who can’t stand up for themselves.
