Elder Abuse In Community Facilities

Abstract: 4 pages in length. Providing daily care for those who have lost their physical or mental capacities - and often both at the same time - is a tremendous drain on the caretaker's emotional well being. People who work with the elderly in assisted living facilities, nursing homes, daycare facilities and institutions are met with daily challenges that can frustrate, irritate and downright antagonize the caregiver; however, while being a very taxing profession day in and day out, no amount of dissatisfaction should ever equate to abuse. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
