Perspectives: A Look at Alzheimer’s
Disease This 8-hour workshop is designed to help participants understand the complexities of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease from different perspectives. Staff are called upon in their role to work with many different individuals, each coming from a different perspective. This workshop is designed to help bring those perspectives together so that the resident / client with Alzheimer’s disease is treated with respect and dignity, ensuring their needs are met. Perspectives presented will include the family member, resident, spiritual, recreational therapist, social worker, nurse, psychologist, and conclude with the research perspective.

Adult Protective Services agencies received 565,747 reports of suspected elder abuse in 2004, and that's said to be only a small fraction of the elder abuse that takes place. About 15 percent of substantiated cases involve financial exploitation. Simply put, about 85,000 cases of financial elder exploitation were reported in 2004. #90 Scam May 1, 2008 This is partly true but the emailed warnings are OVERBLOWN in that very few phone systems are vulnerable to it any more. This scam does not affect residential or cell phone customers -- it only applies to business, hospitals, government agencies and other organizations that still use telephone private branch exchanges (PBXs) rather than Centrex lines to handle their calls. Alert Our Seniors An elderly woman this past week in San Marino was tied up by two robbers in her home. One of the thieves initially knocked on the door pulling the exact crime that someone (?) in the Monrovia Provider Group described at a meeting some time last year. The thief said he lost his dog and if he could look in the back yard and while doing so the other person (if you can call them that) ran into the front of the house. She noticed them so they tied her up and completely robbed her house. Fortunately, she was ok but obviously shaken.

Bank
robber Willie Sutton once famously explained that he robbed banks
because "that's where the money is." These days it's easier
to rob senior citizens. A new survey reports a 20 percent increase
in elder abuse since 2000, and a significant portion of that abuse
is financial.
