An Overview of Caregiver Abuse

Individuals who act as caregivers for an elderly or disabled person make up nearly 30 percent of the adult population in the United States, with many of these caregivers providing unpaid care for family members. This responsibility can cause caregivers to develop considerable anxiety, stress, and fatigue, causing them to feel trapped in their situation and resent the ones who rely on their care. In professional settings such as nursing homes and convalescent hospitals, insufficient staffing or poorly trained caretakers can lead to similar feelings of frustration and cause caretakers to become perpetrators of abuse. Caregiver abuse can occur in either a residential or institutional care setting and can be manifested in a variety of ways, including:

• Emotional abuse
• Psychological torment
• Physical abuse
• Sexual abuse
• Stealing a patient’s medication
• Scapegoating
• Abandonment

Many instances of caregiver abuse go unnoticed and unreported, especially in instances where a patient is afflicted with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Patients who are abused by their caretakers often display a variety of warning signs. Warning signs may include low self-esteem, changes in eating or sleeping habits, visible marks on their bodies, reluctance to speak freely in the presence of the abuser, suspicious withdrawals from bank accounts, and poor hygiene.
