Alzheimer's in the Elderly
Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia and usually affects people over the age of 65. Because of their memory impairment and inability to communicate, patients with Alzheimer's are especially vulnerable to abuse. Aggressors may also target these patients because they are more easily confused, and so may not even realize that they are being ridiculed or abused.
Remember in South Africa, elder abuse is a crime.
