This week’s topic is the Sexual Abuse of the Elderly in our campaign for SOS – Save our Seniors
There are signs to watch for. There are ways to identify sexual abuse.
Some of the signs to note are genital infections, also pain, bleeding or bruising in the genital area.
Another warning sign is inappropriate comments of a sexual nature from a caregiver or other person who spends time with the elderly person.
One other important thing that is a sign is evidence of some kind of restraint being used with this resident, for example, on extremities. Marks would be left on the body of the resident from the use of a restraint.
