Draft to ban door-to-door sales
Akita Pref. ordinance aims to stop unscrupulous people tricking elderly
By Etsuo Hayakawa and Hideharu Tabuchi
Yomiuri Shimbun Staff Writers
(Jun. 3, 2008)
The outline of a draft ordinance to ban door-to-door sales has been drawn up by members of the Akita Prefectural Assembly, but this has some people up in arms as they believe such a measure would dampen business activity.
The envisioned ordinance is designed to prevent elderly people from being tricked into buying expensive and high-risk financial instruments from unscrupulous salespeople without understanding the details.
In February, eight prefectural assembly members drafted an outline of the ordinance to ban salespeople from making uninvited visits to homes, effectively meaning they could not do so without prior arrangement.
The proposed ordinance will ban all salespeople from visiting, faxing, telephoning and e-mailing those aged 65 or older as well as minors.
However, anyone regardless of age can stop visits and telephone calls from salespeople selling products requiring consumers to pay 5,000 yen or more in monthly installments by registering with the prefectural government, according to the draft ordinance.
Prison terms, fines considered
Salespeople who violate the ordinance may face suspension of business, imprisonment for up to two years or a fine up to 1 million yen.

Elder Abuse Awareness: Free Forum (Cambridge, Ontario)
Forum will discuss elder abuse
CAMBRIDGE, Ontario
A forum to raise awareness of elder abuse will be held at the Cambridge Centre for the Arts June 12.
The event is being held in conjunction with World Elder Abuse Awareness Day and is geared to seniors and the people who care about them.
"Elder abuse is a hidden but very much alive issue in our community," said Janis Doran of the Cambridge Working Group on Elder Abuse.
"People are ashamed or embarrassed to say they've been a victim of elder abuse," she said.
Seniors can be the targets of physical, mental or emotional abuse or neglect. They can also be financially abused, either by family members or companies seeking to defraud them.
In Waterloo Region in 2007, police responded to 137 cases of elder abuse. But that may be just the tip of the iceberg. Canadian research estimates 80 per cent of elder abuse cases are not brought to the attention of authorities.
The event is free and no registration is required. Refreshments will be served at 6:30 p.m., followed by a panel of speakers.
The Elder Abuse Response team will discuss how to prevent, identify and respond to abuse, and a member of the Waterloo Regional Police Fraud Team will talk about the impact fraud and identity theft can have on seniors.
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day was designated by an international network of partners including the World Health Organization and the UN Committee on Aging.

Province Gives Funds to Combat Elder Abuse (Ontario, Canada)
The Sudbury Elder Abuse Committee is receiving $4,000 from the Ontario government to help with service co-ordination, front-line staff training and public education.
"Our government's investment in community-based elder abuse programs is part of the elder abuse strategy," said Sudbury MPP Rick Bartolucci in a press release.
"How we treat our seniors and all vulnerable citizens is a reflection of our values as a province. Abuse is a despicable violation of one's dignity and right to lead a safe existence."
The Ontario government recently provided $209,000 to the Ontario Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (ONPEA) to support the work of community-based elder abuse networks across the province.
The funding is in addition to the $1.65 million announced last year. These investments are part of Ontario's Strategy to Combat Elder Abuse, the first of its kind in Canada.
"The generous support by the Ontario government reinforces its commitment to helping seniors who have been abused or are at risk of being abused," said Lori Flynn, ONPEA chair.

Elder Abuse Awareness (Texas, USA)
In abuse’s shadows
By Alyson Chapman
The Daily Times
Published May 30, 2008
More than 82,000 senior citizens in Texas were affected last year by abuse and neglect.
Adult Protective Services opened 24 abuse cases last month in Kerr County.
The statistics are staggering — and seem to be growing every year.News articles across the country tell the stories of victims of abuse.
A 72-year-old Kentucky man lost more than $100,000 in what turned out to be a scam.
A 78-year-old South Carolina woman was covered with bruises, scrapes and sores on her arms, legs and face.
Some stories hit closer to home.A 71-year-old San Antonio woman was burned by a space heater, punched in the eye and left on the floor to suffer.
These cases were reported to authorities, but 84 percent of elder abuse goes unreported, according to statistics provided by Senior CARES, a division of Hill Country CARES, which serves victims of abuse.
“The biggest reason that the elderly fail to report crimes is frailty, fear or isolation,” said Kerrville Police Department Community Services Officer Mary Krebs. “We all need to be aware of the signs and take action.”Local, state and national organizations have been working throughout May to teach people the signs of abuse during Elder Abuse
But awareness needs to extend past May. Abuse against seniors fits into seven major categories: physical, sexual, emotional, financial, violation of rights, neglect, abandonment and self-neglect.
According to statistics, most abusers are family members, which may include an adult child or spouse.
One of the fastest growing forms of financial abuse is identity theft, with the prime target being seniors.
Reporting abuse
If abuse is suspected, it is important to report it immediately. Call the Kerrville Police Department at 257-8181 or the Kerr County Sheriff’s Office at 896-1216. Adult Protective Services has a hotline for reported abuse at (800) 252-5400.

Caring for Alzheimer's sufferers (Australia)
Caring for someone whose mind is failing
BY CAITLIN ANDREWS
23/05/2008 11:06:00 AM
CARING for someone with Alzheimer’s is tough, but Muswellbrook’s Yvonne Wright is one of those special people who took on the role when her father was diagnosed with dementia two-and-a-half years ago.
For the past few years Ms Wright has had to witness the saddening degenerative process of Alzheimers disease as her father’s health and memory has gradually deteriorated.
As the disease has taken hold day by day week by week the small things in life have become a challenge.
“It started out in small ways when Dad wasn’t quite able to walk down the street and do his shopping and banking,” Ms Wright said.
In the last year, the disease has sped up and finally taken over the Muswellbrook man’s independence.
Alzheimer’s does not only take the memory, but as a result stirs up emotions including frustration and aggression often exposing a totally different personality.
The Upper Hunter Dementia Advisory Service provide support meetings every second Tuesday of the month on the second floor at Muswellbrook Hospital.
Daisy Dementia Advice and Information Service operates from Monday to Friday between 8am and 4.30pm.
A free service, Daisy provides information, advice, education and support to patients, families and carers in the Upper Hunter region.
For more information contact Celeste Bond or Susan Baumhammer on 6542 2707.

First International Alzheimer's Survery
FIRST INTERNATIONAL ALZHEIMER’S SURVEY WITH PATIENT INPUT REVEALS SOCIAL INTERACTION REMAINS A PRIORITY FOR PEOPLE WITH ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
Ogilvy Health PR
Posted on: 28 May 08
Munich, Germany, 26 May 2008 – The first ever international survey of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) has shown that patients consider maintaining a social life and feeling safe and supported at home to be just as important to them as receiving medical treatment that helps control their symptoms. The survey results were presented today at the 18th Alzheimer Europe Conference in Oslo, Norway.
Commenting on the survey results, Marc Wortmann, Executive Director, Alzheimer’s Disease International said, “Patients may have a debilitating disease but they too have needs, hopes and expectations from life and want to live a normal life as much as possible. It’s important that healthcare professionals and carers acknowledge the value of helping patients maintain a healthy social life as well as seeking effective medical treatment.”
Caregivers agreed with the most important issues highlighted by patients but also said that access to detailed information about AD and opportunities to discuss the condition and its treatment with physicians are also important to them.
The survey also highlights areas that carers would like to see enhancements such as making treatment compliance and medication management easier, and greater access to information”, said Prof. Alexander Friedrich Kurz, M. D., Professor of Psychiatry and Head of the Centre for Cognitive Disorders at the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy of Technische Universität München, Munich, Germany who presented the survey results.
Caregivers highlighted more areas where their needs are not being met compared with patients. In the US, patients felt that all of the needs that are important to them were being met, although improvements are required in the areas of treatment effectiveness (Germany, Spain); the ability to enjoy life (France, Germany, Spain); feeling safe and supported at home and keeping up a social life (Brazil).

An understanding of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), is vital for family, friends and caregivers. Ignorance of the changes to behaviour of sufferers, can at times lead to elder abuse. Many carers of AD sufferers are often put under extreme stress. We should be empathetic towards their situation and strive to assist them.

Elder Justice Act in Limbo? (USA)
Elder Justice Act aims to protect seniors
28 May 2008
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Rep. Christopher P. Carney, D-10, announced his support for the Elder Justice Act (H.R. 1783), the first comprehensive federal effort to address and prevent elder abuse, neglect and exploitation.
The Elder Justice Act aims to make communities safer for older Americans by implementing tougher standards at long-term care facilities and requiring prompt reporting of crimes in nursing homes.“How we take care of our seniors says a lot about us as a community. And it’s unacceptable to have seniors abused, neglected or exploited. When I talk to people in Northeast and Central Pennsylvania, they tell me they’re worried about their parents’ care, or their own care. We have to do better,” Carney said, adding a majority of senior abuse or neglect goes unreported.
The Elder Justice Act will provide victim assistance, improved long-term care and support for at-risk elders. In addition, this legislation will provide resources to states for abuse prevention and improved prosecution for the mistreatment of older Americans. More than 100 Members of Congress — both Republicans and Democrats — are cosponsors of the Elder Justice Act. The legislation is awaiting action in committee.
