As we head to World Alzheimer's Day on 21 September 2024, Ntokozo Nkosi who is the Deputy Director Services to Older Persons at the Department of Social Development in KwaZulu Natal, shares insights on The Emotional Effects of Abuse on the Elderly
This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Part 1 which focused on The Current Status on Elderly Abuse is also available on the channel.
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.
