Dementia Abuse Booklet Available

The Alzheimer's Society of the UK and the group Action With Elder Abuse have put together a new booklet that focuses on "possible abuse in the dementia care environment".

Launching this new educational booklet on June 15th, which is World Elder Abuse Day, the information describes why people with dementia are vulnerable to abuse and identifies all types of abuse, including neglect, financial and psychological.

The booklets may be very useful to dementia support groups and can be ordered in packs of 50 from the Alzheimer's Society, which serves England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
