Client at Adult Daycare "abused sexually by relative" investisgation just started.
🤢 These people are sick! 🤮
I just strarted working in an Adult daycare Facility. And found out one of our Clients is being "abused sexually" . I immediately reported it to my Admin. Whom of course reported to all proper channels. Now a big investigation is going on. We both, along with the client got questioned today by investigators. We are very adiment about this person safety! Have any of you frens been through this? This is my first time. How can i help my client? They are high functioning mentally challenged. Also, how can my admin and i keep ourselves safe? All advice is appreciated. Thank you.
oh lord. this is horrific. my MIL was in a memory care ward, and had frequent UTIs. Jesus help us. I cannot tell my spouse this.
I'm so sorry. The information and things that go on are so new to me, I usually do home health. This breaks my heart. Now I'm involved in a case. But, I know I did the right thing. God bless you fren . We have to fight for those who can't fight for themselves.
You absolutely did the right thing. you gave a voice to one that could not speak. you gave evidence and symptoms to look for to help the silent. i guarantee more on this board didn’t think this would possibly be a vulnerable spot.
had i known, i would have approached my MIL care in a different way. she passed years back. but i recall her frequent UTIs as being weird. Sex and a catheter were the only 2 logical conclusion i had. who gets it on with strange at that age? but everyone dismissed sex between residents at the home. i now shudder to think that her caregivers…
it’s ugly. thank you for being brave.
My Mom was in a facility too, got a lot of UTIs, however they had zero male employees and it was a small facility. I don't think UTIs are a guarantee of abuse.
That is a much better thought than the one i had and the conclusion i drew! thanks for the perspective
Elderly patients, especially women, frequently get UTIs. In fact UTIs can often make dementia worse before it is treated. It has more to do w lack of estrogen and is not necessarily indicative of assault.
Can confirm. Even in males, UTI will make a an early dementia patient look like they are completely demented overnight. Clear up the UTI and they come back to the functional level they were previously on.
Isn’t it fascinating? Thanks for the reply
Thank is comforting. Thank you for the insight.
