- My friend lives with her children and I am concerned about her
health. She rarely has clean clothes to wear, she can only go
out when her daughter feels it is convenient, and she isn’t
receiving her insulin shots on a regular basis. What
constitutes neglect of an older person?
- What are signs of neglect?
- My elderly uncle is very independent. He lives by himself and
has no help. Lately his kitchen and bathroom have been very dirty.
His vision is failing and he doesn’t appear to be eating
very well. I am worried about him becoming ill or having an accident
because he isn’t looking after himself. What
can I do to help him?
- I'm afraid I might offend my uncle if I suggest something too
drastic. How can I be helpful but gentle
at the same time?
