Elder abuses and dementia are an ugly, immoral and illegal combination. The reality is that it happens, more often than ever gets reported. With thanks to theĀ New Horizons for Seniors Program, Caregiving Matters is pleased to produce a 100% virtual project that looks at a variety of issues facing people with dementia & their families.
Through this virtual series, we will explore a variety of legal issues and host inter-active Zoom events for caregivers and for the families of people with dementia. Our goal is to help these families learn about elder abuses and to be more mindful of their words and actions. Often elder abuse is not intentional and our goal is to educate the public to better understand some of the laws protecting people with dementia and how to prevent or stop abuses from occurring.
