message from the peipa president
As the President of the Prince Edward Island Police Association, it gives me great
pleasure to present the 21st Annual Crime Prevention Guide, focusing on the very
serious matter of Bullying.
d
e
t
da
Many school children know all too well about bullying because they see it every
day! There are many ways that young people bully each other, even if they don’t realize it at the time.
Bullying and its victims come in many forms. Even adults, who should know better, bully. Bullying
happens when someone hurts or scares another person on purpose and the victim has a hard time
defending themself, making her/him feel uncomfortable or afraid.

Bullying is wrong, and everyone needs to get involved to help stop it.

message from the mayor of charlottetown
On behalf of the City of Charlottetown, I wish to congratulate the Prince
Edward Island Police Association on the publication of their 22nd Annual
Crime Prevention Guide. The theme this year is Elder Abuse, a topic of
concern for all residents of Prince Edward Island.
As we all know, elder abuse and neglect can come in various forms, be it
physical, emotional, sexual or even financial exploitation. As our
population ages, it is important that our seniors, who are a vulnerable
sector, remain protected. It is imperative through education, awareness
and enforcement that as a community, we work with Police to minimize
the risk to our senior’s population from becoming the victims of abuse and neglect.
In closing, I hope everyone will read this guide to educate themselves on the warning signs
and risk factors of elder abuse. I wish all members of the Prince Edward Island Police
Association well and thank them for their contribution in making Prince Edward Island a
safer place.

message from charlottetown’s chief of police
This year marks the twenty-second anniversary for the PEI Police
Association. Part of the work of the Association involves the production
of an annual Crime Prevention/Awareness Guide. Each year, the guide
provides educational materials and information which helps raise
awareness and provides discussion points to an important issue facing
our communities.
This year, the guide focuses on the issue of Elder Abuse. This type of
abuse can be described as actions that harm an older person or
jeopardize a person’s health or welfare. It can occur in any relationship
where there is an expectation of trust or where a person is in a position
of power or authority. This form of abuse can be physical, emotional, verbal, financial,
sexual, or a denial of civil and human rights. (Financial abuse is considered the most
common form of abuse of older adults.)
Education and information are key components to empowering individuals and making our
communities safer. It is our collective hope that those reading the guide will find the
information to be timely and informative and that this information will foster positive
discussion among family and friends.
We can all play a role in reducing the incidence of elder abuse. Preventing elder abuse means
doing things pro-actively:
• Listening to seniors and their caregivers
• Intervening when you suspect elder abuse
• Educating others about how to recognize and report elder abuse
The production of this guide is a proactive step to educate our community. These guides not
only raise awareness on important issues, but also assist the Police Association in the
efforts to fund and support very worthwhile projects within our Island communities.
On behalf of the members and staff of the Charlottetown Police Services, I would like to
congratulate the PEI Police Association for the production of this year’s Crime Prevention
Guide, and wish you every success in the future.
Yours truly,
A. Paul Smith
Chief of Police

message from summerside’s chief of police
Congratulations again, to the PEI Police Association for continuing their
good work in producing their 22nd Annual Crime Prevention Guide. This
year, the Association has picked “Elder Abuse” as their topic for the
Guide. Elder abuse can be defined as psychological or physical violence
towards the elderly, exploitation of the elderly, violation of the rights of
the elderly, or abuse and/or neglect of elders.
Elder abuse has become much too common in our society today as
Statistics Canada reports that the reporting of elder abuse has increased
over 20% in the past several years. They also report that by 2031, 8 million
of us will be over the age of 65. The sad reality is that a great percentage
of older adults have reported some form of emotional and/or financial abuse by an adult
child relative, spouse or caregiver.
Elder abuse can take several forms, including:
Neglect: Signs include unkempt appearance, broken glasses, lack of appropriate clothing, as
well as malnutrition, dehydration and poor personal hygiene.
Physical Abuse: Signs include untreated or unexplainable injuries in various stages of
healing, limb and skull fractures, bruises, black eyes and welts.
Psychological/emotional abuse: Watch for changes in behaviour (emotional upset/agitation
resulting in sucking, biting, rocking), withdrawal or non-responsiveness.
Economic/financial abuse: Watch for sudden changes in bank accounts or banking activity,
and major changes to legal documents such as powers of attorney and wills.
Preventing elder abuse has to be a joint effort between adult children, government agencies,
and local housing or care facilities. We must do everything in our power to stop this form of
disgusting abuse and we need to make a difference in the lives of our seniors. They are the
ones that fought for our country, the ones that gave us life, the ones that should be deeply
respected, and their voices need to be heard worldwide.
Let us band together to stop these despicable acts against our most cherished citizens.

The PEIPA received a letter of thanks from the RNC, as a result of the PEI Police
Association sponsored some of their members to attend the Royal Newfoundland
Constabulary’s Hockey Fundraiser for one of their members who was diagnosed with a
life-threating illness.
RNC Cst. Brian Houlihan was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a cancer in the plasma
cell of the bone marrow, early in 2011. Although there currently is not a cure for this type
of cancer, it is treatable, and there are many promising new therapies under investigation
that are bringing them closer to a cure. Survival statistics for myeloma patients have
doubled in the last decade.
Brian underwent Stem Cell Transplant in Boston in September 2011, and is now in
remission.
You can follow Brian’s progress on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Brian-Houlihan-Prayer-Page
Gentlemen,
On behalf of all members of the RNC, and in particular Cst. Brian
Houlihan, I would like to send out a much appreciated thank you for
your support. All money raised this year was given to Brian and his family
so that they could spend some quality time together and try to forget
the unfortunate hand they have been dealt, if that’s possible. They plan
on going somewhere nice and warm for a week or so as soon as Brian
is feeling up to traveling. When I met with him to give him your
donations, I asked how he was and he put life into perspective by
saying, "Every day on top of the sod is a great one." How true! Thanks to
you all, and in particular, our brothers in blue from Charlottetown, and
Vinny, we were able to give Brian $2,400.00 to put towards a trip. He was
quite emotional the day that I spoke with him and was overwhelmed by
the support and generosity of you all.
Thanks again!
Billy

What You Need to Know About Elder Abuse
THE SINGLE LARGEST FACTOR THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND/OR
MAINTENANCE OF AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP IS ISOLATION. TALKING TO A
PERSON IS ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS TO BREAKING DOWN THIS ISOLATION. IF A
PERSON DOES TELL YOU THAT THEY ARE BEING ABUSED YOU SHOULD :
•BELIEVE the person. Do not question what they are telling you. You may be the
very first person that has ever been entrusted with this information. It may be hard
to understand what is going on especially if the perpetrator is a nice person to you
or someone you know.
•Do not judge the person. Listen to what they are saying to you. Do not express
pity or tell them what to do. Tell them you care about them and offer them a level
of support that you feel comfortable providing and know that you can provide on
an ongoing basis. Do not promise them things you know you can not do or do not
feel comfortable doing.
•Educate yourself on resources available to older persons who are
being abused. You can do this by calling your local community information
centre, community care access centre, community support agency, talking to your
own doctor, your lawyer or searching on the internet for Ontario resources and/or
information.
•Do not deny what is going on. If you choose to deny what is going on or not
to listen to a person, this will serve to isolate the person who is being abused even
further.
•Understand that making efforts to change an abusive relationship is
extremely difficult. A person who is being abused can be very afraid and not
certain what to do. It can take a very long time for people to decide to make a
change in their lives, to reach out for help or to even talk about their situation.
•Encourage the person to seek help and assistance. Offer to help them
find the right place to turn to if this is something you are prepared and able to do.
• Do not confront the perpetrator yourself. This could put you and/or the
person who is being abused in trouble.
Remember, if you or someone you know has been abused or is experiencing abuse,
you are not alone - help is available.

THE ABUSE OF OLDER ADULTS AND THE LAW:
WHAT ISLANDERS NEED TO KNOW
In the fall of 2007, the New Horizons for Seniors’
Program of HRSDC put out a call for proposals
for Elder Abuse Awareness projects. CLIA
partnered with the Prince Edward Island Centre
on Health and Aging, the PEI Seniors’ Safety
Program and the PEI Senior Citizens’ Federation
to develop the project, The Abuse of Older
Adults and the Law: What Islanders Need to
Know. In the fall of 2008 our project was
accepted and work began on October 6th. This
is a three year project that will be completed in
the fall of 2011.
The objectives of the project are:
• to develop a legal information strategy for
older adults;
• to increase awareness/knowledge of legal
responsibilities, obligations and resources,
reducing vulnerability of seniors to abuse;
• and to develop multimedia resources for use
in abuse prevention efforts.
Anne’s research has included a literature review,
meetings with key informants and the design
and circulation of two surveys, one for service
providers and one for seniors. The surveys have
been circulated across PEI and the data will be
entered into a database. Focus groups are
underway with service providers and seniors.
The service provider focus groups have involved:
• Adult protection workers
• Clergy
• Police
• Home care workers
• Family violence prevention services
• Long-term care management
• Alzheimer’s PEI
• Nursing staff
• Community care managers
Focus groups with seniors have involved:
•
•
•
•
•
Community care residents
The francophone community
The aboriginal community
Rural Islanders
City residents
Phase one of the project will research what
questions need answers about the abuse of
older adults and the law. Methods will include
interviews with key informants, questionnaires,
focus groups and a literature review. There will
also be an opportunity to network with the
other Atlantic Provinces to share ideas and best
practices.
Phase two will involve developing new
resources, translating those resources, fieldtesting the material and producing information
kits. In the final phase of the project a
presentation team will take the new resources
to seniors, their families and service providers
across PEI in a ‘travelling road show’.
The Abuse of Older Adults and the Law will
result in new resources for Islanders that will be
updated and disseminated by the Community
Legal Information Association as part of their
mandate. This will reduce the vulnerability of
seniors to abuse. The project will also
strengthen existing networks of service
providers to seniors.
All aspects of the project will be evaluated using
a participatory model by an independent
evaluator working with the project team. The
evaluation will be built into the project planning
and implementation process.

Emergency or “Grandparent” Scam
Though the “Emergency Scam” (or sometimes
referred to as the “Grandparent Scam”) has
been around for years, the Canadian AntiFraud Centre warns the public to be on alert
after noting a marked increase in the number of
complaints in the last two months.
In the typical scenario, a grandparent receives
a phone call from a con-artist claiming to be
one of his or her grandchildren. The caller goes
on to say that they are in some kind of trouble
and need money immediately. Typically they
claim being in a car accident, trouble returning
from a foreign country or they need bail money.
A typical call can go
something like this:
a.
Con-artist: Hi, Grandma/Grandp
Victim: Hi.
s is?
Con-artist: Do you know who thi
please help me? I’m in jail (or in the hospital /
or in some type of financial need). But don’t tell
Dad. He would kill me if he found out, please

Wanting to help their grandchild, the victim
sends money by a money transfer company
such as Money Gram or Western Union.
Variations on the scam exist such as an old
neighbour, a friend of the family etc. but
predominantly the emergency scam is directed
toward the Grandparents.
In 2007, 128 consumers reported this scam to
the CAFC. From January to August 31st, 2008,
317 complaints were reported to the Center
with the majority reported (155 complaints) in
July and August 2008.
The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (Phonebusters)
was established in January 1993 and is jointly
operated by the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and
the Competition Bureau Canada.
The CAFC is a national call centre where
victims can report fraud complaints. The
information is used to assist in investigations.

The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre plays a key
role in educating the public about specific

pitches. It also helps to prevent similar crimes
from taking place in the future through its
ability to identify emerging trends.

Elder Abuse and People Living with Dementia
As originally published on www.alzheimer.ca
ELDER ABUSE
People with dementia are vulnerable to abuse by people who are close to them, either in residential or home settings. They are also vulnerable to
being taken advantage of by strangers because of their cognitive problems. Abuse situations are often preventable through adequate support,
training, supervision and legal protection.
Research has shown that abuse affects between 4% and 10% of older adults in Canada1. Only one in five incidents of elder abuse comes to the
attention of those who can help.
Abuse of older adults with dementia affects between 5.4% (Pavez et al. (1992)) and 11.9% (Coyne et al. (1993)).
People with dementia are at increased risk of different forms of abuse (e.g. verbal, physical, financial and psychological abuse as well as neglect)
due to their cognitive impairment, loss of capacity, communication challenges and increasing dependence on their caregivers.
The person with dementia may also abuse the caregiver either due to lifelong habits or impact of the disease.
RESPONDING TO A SITUATION OF ABUSE
In facilities and agencies
Facilities and agencies should have a protocol to deal with abuse. If you suspect abuse, take action immediately.
By Caregivers
Providing care, which gets more onerous with the progression of dementia, can also be extremely stressful.
Risk factors for abuse by caregivers include:
• Lack of knowledge about dementia. Disturbed behaviour, common among people with dementia, is particularly poorly understood, leading to
stigma, blame and distress for caregivers2.
• High level of stress and inability to cope with it. Stress levels for dementia caregivers are five times greater than caring for a person with other
conditions.
• Having no alternative strategies to address challenges that come with the disease (i.e. behaviour changes).
• Depression, which is common among caregivers.
• Lack of appropriate counselling and support.
• The caregiver’s perception that taking care of the elder is burdensome and without psychological reward.
By the person with dementia
Risk factors for abuse by the person with dementia include:
• Intensity of a person’s illness or stage of dementia
• Change in mood and behaviour associated with dementia. Even people with no history of aggressive behaviour may become unintentionally
abusive.
• The person’s own tendency toward verbal or physical aggression
Several risk factors affect both the person with dementia and caregivers:
• The stress of care, mental and physical health problems can affect the coping abilities of both people with dementia and caregivers.
• Substance abuse
• Social isolation
• The person’s history of being abusive or having experienced abuse
• A history of domestic violence in the home
In many cases, elder abuse, mistreatment or neglect is unintentional.
Caregivers and people with dementia pushed beyond their capabilities may not mean to be verbally or physically abusive, and caregivers may not
mean to neglect the person in their care or ignore their needs.
Greater understanding of the disease and what to expect can be helpful. Making sure that caregivers have respite care breaks is also important. If,
as a caregiver, you are having difficulty coping with stress related to caregiving, it is important to get the support you need, through a counsellor,
faith-based leader, or someone through the Alzheimer Society.

What the Law can do About Elder Abuse
What role does the law play in preventing elder
abuse given the chilling events that recently took
place in Moncton, New Brunswick? Sentenced to
four years in prison for essentially allowing her
mother to rot to death, Ms. Margaret Grant escaped
the maximum sentence of 5 years based on “…the
remorse she expressed by her guilty plea and… the
fact that she has no prior criminal record…”.
The Criminal Code
Although there is no specific Canadian Criminal
Code provisions to combat elder abuse, its
provisions provide protection generally to all
Canadians against mistreatment. For example,
physical abuse could come under a number of
criminal code provisions, such as assault;
psychological abuse is captured under provisions
such as intimidation and uttering threats; financial
abuse may come under
provisions that deal with
theft, forgery, extortion or
“Upon receiving
fraud; and active neglect

dispatched to
effects of elder abuse, so
investigate the case” that cases like that of
Margaret Grant will act to
deter future abuse. But
the law in some jurisdictions does attempt to take a
more proactive role in curbing elder abuse…
Adult Protection Legislation
Provincial adult protection legislation exists in
Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia,
Prince Edward Island and British Columbia but it
varies from province to province. Each of the
statutes has a different scope (as in the type of
situations which allow a designated agency to
intervene) or different reporting requirements. For
example, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia provide
for the mandatory reporting of cases of neglect and
abuse, whereas New Brunswick’s legislation only
refers to voluntary reporting by a “professional
person”. Upon receiving information that an adult is
being neglected or abused, social services are
dispatched to investigate the case, which is
mandatory in all jurisdictions with adult protection
legislation with the exception of PEI. Remedial
measures available to social services may consist of
providing the adult with necessary social services,
including homemaker services, or referring the case
to an appropriate agency (including the police, a
community service agency, another government
department or agency, or a hospital or other
institution), although remedial measures also vary
from province to province.
Adult Guardianship Legislation
Adult guardianship legislation exists in every
province and sets out rules concerning the
designation of adults as mentally incapable.
Ontario’s Substitute Decisions Act, for example,
gives the Public Guardian and Trustee (PGT) various
powers to investigate into abuse or neglect, where
the victim is a mentally incapable adult and either
refer the victim to the appropriate services or apply
to the court for temporary guardianship of the
victim. However, the PGT does not act as an adult
protection agency nor provide direct protective
services except for substitute decision-making
services with regard to financial affairs and health
care. Rather the agency helps the victim connect to
social and health services available in the
community.
Family Violence Legislation
Finally, family violence legislation exists in a
number of Canadian provinces. Under the
legislation, a court or Justice of the Peace can issue
a protection order directing an abusive family
member, often a spouse, to stay away from the
person being abused or threatened, as well as the
abused individual’s property. Family violence
statutes have evolved since their inception and can
now deal with elder abuse arising from a parentchild relationship as well as a spousal relationship.
Financial Abuse and the Law
Another important form of abuse is that of financial

43
What the Law can do About Elder Abuse
abuse. Older Canadians are frequently an attractive
target for financial exploitation, as they often have
paid off their mortgages, have higher savings and
lower expenses as they often no longer have childrearing expenses. At the same time, the effects of
financial abuse can also devastate older Canadians,
who usually cannot expect a great deal of future
income. This situation often occurs when a guardian
of a mentally incapable individual misappropriates
a ward’s assets. Although adult guardianship laws
can authorize the responsible agency to freeze
accounts, redirect income and halt the disposition of
property, there is a practical difficulty with relying
on them as one must first recognize the abuse, and
incapable individuals are unlikely to be able to do
so. Unless someone suspects or finds and reports to
the agency, the abuse will not be discovered.
Often, in the anticipation of possible future
incapacity, individuals will sign trust agreements or
power of attorney agreements. Although these
financial agreements are effective for preventing
abuse against third parties, they do not prevent the
fiduciary in these situations from being the financial
abuser. Older Canadians could also be coerced into
signing a power of attorney. Although, one could
theoretically be liable under s. 311 (theft by
someone holding a power of attorney) of the
Criminal Code, this first requires detection, and the
provision tends to be overlooked, as abuse of power
of attorney is generally considered to be a civil,
rather than a criminal matter. As well, the
requirement that intention be proven is often a
stumbling block to anyone attempting to use the
provision.
A very high profile case has recently placed the
spotlight on this very
issue,
when
Tony
Marshall, the son of the “Unless there is

Marshall’s
attorney,
Francis Morrissey has
also been implicated and charged. Indeed, lawyers,
accountants, financial advisers and doctors are just
some of the professional groups that include enough
bad apples who have taken advantage of the trust
seniors have placed in them. Again, it is a group of
few close friends who have brought to light the
misappropriation of funds by Mr. Marshall. Unless
there is someone to detect elder abuse in such a
situation, the abuser may be free to continue
exploiting the victim.
Where do we go from here?
This begs the question as to whether the law is the
beginning or the end of social change. It would
seem from the current state of the law that it is to
follow social change. Then, it is up to society to
decide that elder abuse is not acceptable and that
the law should respond to its demands by working
to ensure that we live in a society in which elder
abuse is faced with more legal barriers, and
accountability is demanded of those in a position to
abuse.

What every older Canadian should know about Financial Abuse
Financial abuse is the most common form of
elder abuse in Canada. Financial abuse can
happen at any time, but it will often start after
a health crisis or after the death of a spouse,
partner or close friend. People who are alone,
lonely or in poor health are more vulnerable.
They may find it harder to protect themselves
from demands for money or other forms of
financial abuse, or from physical and emotional
abuse, which may occur at the same time.
Financial abuse can be difficult to identify or
recognize. It is often a pattern rather than a
single event, happening over a long period of
time. The important thing about protecting
yourself from financial abuse is to remember
that your money and property belong to you.
They are not your family’s or anyone else’s.
Mary’s story:
Lee frequently pressures his grandmother for
small amounts of money. He always says he
will repay her, but if she asks him when, he
gets angry and accuses her of not trusting him.
Mary cares about her grandson but his
behaviour has become a problem. In talking
to a trusted neighbour, Mary realizes that Lee
is abusing her and that the abuse could get
worse if it is not stopped. She decides she will
call the police to find out how to stop the
abuse without putting herself or her home in
danger.
What is financial abuse?
Some types of financial abuse are very clearly
theft or fraud. For example, if someone cashes
your pension cheque and keeps all or part of
the money without your permission, or if they
misuse a power of attorney to take money
from your bank account for themselves, they
are stealing from you. A power of attorney is a
legal document that allows the person
appointed as the "attorney" to make financial
decisions on behalf of another person, called
"the donor." The attorney is required to act in
the interests of the donor, not in his or her
own interests.
Other examples of financial abuse are harder
to put a name to. These can include
pressuring, forcing or tricking you into:
• Lending or giving away money, property or
possessions
• Selling or moving from your home
• Making or changing your will or power of
attorney
• Signing legal or financial documents that
you don’t understand
• Working for little or no money, including
caring for children or grandchildren
• Making a purchase you don’t want or need,
or
• Providing food and shelter to others without
being paid
Who are the abusers?
Financial abuse is the illegal or unauthorized
use of someone else’s money or property. It
includes pressuring someone for money or
property.
Abusers are usually people who have a close
connection to you. They can include your
spouse, son or daughter, other relative, friend,

neighbour, or caregiver. They use their
connection to take advantage of you and force
you do what they want.
Be very cautious if you open a joint bank
account – the other person can take away all
the money without asking.
Where can I go for help?
Make an effort to keep in touch with a variety
of friends and family so you don’t become
isolated.
If you think you are experiencing financial
abuse, ask for help. The abuser may try to
make you think that you are the one that is
causing the problem, but this is not true. If you
don’t have a family member or close friend
who can help you, there are community
resources you can use to stop the abuse.
Ask your bank or credit union, your local
seniors’ centre, or even your doctor where you
can go for advice and help. Or contact your
local police.
Where can I find out more?

finances will be protected from others who
might try to take advantage of you.

ELDER ABUSE STATISTICS
As originally published on http://imfcanada.org
Updated January 21, 2009
As Canada’s population ages, the number of
citizens over 65 years of age will outnumber
the number of citizens under the age of 15 by
2015.[i] This shift means that an increasing
number of people will be put into the position
of caregiver for their parents even as they may
be caring for their own family. Juggling these
responsibilities involves, by necessity, a great
deal of stress. We must be mindful, therefore,
of the problem of elder abuse. Below are some
quick statistics on the scope of the problem
today.
All statistics are quoted from Family Violence
in Canada, 2007 pages 32-34. Published by
Statistics Canada and retrieved on January 21,
2009 from
http://www.statcan.ca/english/freepub/85-224XIE/85-224-XIE2007000.pdf
• In 2005, there were 160 violent incidents
for every 100,000 seniors, almost 14 times
lower than the rate recorded for persons
aged 15 to 24 (2,317 per 100,000).
• Trend data show that between 1998 and
2005, the overall rate of police-reported
violence against seniors increased 20%.
per 100,000 females over 65 who were
violently victimized by a family member,
compared to 36 per 100,000 males over
65.
• According to police-reported data, rates of
family violence against seniors were
highest when the accused was an adult
child (15 per 100,000) or a current or
former spouse (13 per 100,000).
• Senior females were most likely to
experience family violence at the hands of
their current or ex-spouse (17 per 100,000)
or their adult children (16 per 100,000);
while senior males were more likely to be
victimized by their adult children (13 per
100,000).
Police-reported data show that the oldest
seniors are less likely to be victims of family
violence (Figure 3.3). The rate of family
violence against seniors aged 85 and over was
lowest at 22 per 100,000, compared to 34 for
seniors between 75 and 84 years of age, and
52 for the youngest seniors aged 65 to 74
years of age.
• According to police-reported data, senior
males are more likely than senior females
to be victims of violent crime. In 2005,
senior men experienced rates of violent
crime that were 1.5 times higher than for
senior women (172 versus 114 per
100,000).
• When considering violence at the hands of
a family member, rates of violence were
higher for senior women. There were 47

TIPS for caregivers
Take care of yourself and do what you need to do
to stay healthy. This includes having some fun and
living life to the fullest. Many caregivers feel guilty
about taking time for themselves; however, it is
critical that the caretaker makes her own health and
well-being a priority in order to take care of others.
Heavily stressed individuals are less effective and
less efficient.
Be practical. You can only do what you can do.
Don’t overload yourself emotionally, physically or
financially.
Don’t neglect your significant relationships. Take
time to be with the important people in your life.
Make plans with your family for special afternoons
in the park or movies at home. Go on a date with
your partner.
Be in touch with yourself. Watch out for signs of
burnout and depression. Consider discussing these
issues with your physician or seek counseling if you
have symptoms of depression. Be aware of
increased use of antianxiety medication or selfmedication through alcohol. Think about your own
physical and mental health and get help if you see
a less than healthy change.
Make caring for your parent a responsibility for the
whole family. It is not just the adult daughter’s job.
Other siblings as well as children can help. Hold a
family meeting to discuss caregiving. Make a list of
all responsibilities required, then discuss who might
do what tasks. All family members living in the area
should attend, especially the aging parent, so his or
her feelings are considered.
Accept help from extended family, friends and
neighbors. It is very easy to say “no” when others
offer to assist you. If they are not offering something
helpful, make a suggestion of what they can do to
help. They truly want to help and sometimes they
don’t know how.
Become an expert. Learn as much about the
medical condition you are dealing with as you can.
This will alleviate the stress of not knowing what to
expect, and will make you better able to care for
your loved one.
Reflect on the positives of the relationship.
Remember why it is you are taking care of an aging
parent or relative. Take time to reflect on the times
that this person was a significant and giving force in
your life. Renew the love and the feelings you have
for the person. Sometimes the difficulties of the
caregiving role can get in the way of such feelings.
Look at old photo albums and, if possible, reflect
and recollect with your loved one.
Tap into the many resources out there to help.
There are helpful sources such as; assisted living,
day care for seniors, home care, short-term
residential
care,
and
church
volunteer
organizations that offer services to assist caregivers.
Find out what resources are available in your
community and take advantage of them.
Seek support. Your friends or church may be
excellent sources of support. Many communities
have Alzheimer’s support groups. There are even
Internet support groups. Find out what support
services are offered in your community and take
advantage of them. Reach out.
Please contact your FSEAP professional to learn
more about the information and support available
to caregivers.
Family Services offers confidential
professional assistance on a wide
variety of personal and work-related issues.
