12:49:57 From Jayme Duva : if in a facility, call ombudsman
12:50:09 From cheryl montague : Looking at some of the warning signs and indicators for abuse, do you believe that sometimes people, particularly family members, do not know they are being abusive. Sometimes I believe people feel they are doing their best and the stress is guiding their actions in some cases because sometimes people fall in the primary caregiving role as a family member and they feel overwhelmed. I think this is a topic that needs to be discussed more and taught. I think your information is spot on.

13:01:43 From Steve Gurney - ProAging Community : https://www.springalliance.org/
13:01:57 From Pam Luby to Hosts and panelists : There has been talk of an elder abuser registry in Maryland similar to a child abuse registry. Since most abusers abuse people they know would a registry offer additional protections for people living in the community
13:04:33 From Mari Anne Hamilton to Hosts and panelists : As an ombudsman, I visited several elderly persons with cognitive decline who became adamant that they did not want certain caregivers - it was because they were persons of color - "she doesn't know anything" or "I don't want HER telling me what to do." That could be something to consider when someone is being accused of abuse or someone doesn't want a certain caregiver to enter their room.
