Seniors with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia are the most vulnerable to abuse and neglect as approximately half of all nursing home residents with dementia experience abuse. Those with dementia have a difficult time remembering things, communicating, and reasoning which is why they are so vulnerable to abuse. They are also the main targets of financial exploitation as it is easy for staff to steal money and valuables from them and convince them to change their wills or financial accounts.
