  • @ScreamingInAPaperCup I am in the health profession. All bedsores are a sign of neglect and abuse. There is absolutely no excuse for them at all. I have seen them on patients as well as my own family members. Providing the proper mattress, hygiene and turning procedures are major steps that need to be taken to prevent bedsores from occurring. When a person develops bedsores, it is because someone has not been doing there job. You need to do the research. I have done all the research.

  • Very good video. I often told my students, and other people. Some Elderly are not easy to take care of. You must have a lot of patience, and know to walk away some times. It does not give you the right to abuse anyone at all, as you don't know what you would be like when you get so much older. Unkempt with some. Many would walk around naked, you can may have to dress her about eight times in four hours. Many would prefer to dress like a ragamuffin, than wear their nice clothes.

  • No one has the right to ever abuse an elderly person

    but an elderly person never has the right to abuse any one either!!!!

    I don't take sides.

    every one feels pain no matter what age or race they are, abuse hurts every one!

  • There is one statement in this video with which I totally disagree. Dr. Mosqueda states that she believes that not all bed sores are a sign of abuse. ALL BED SORES ARE A SIGN OF ABUSE. There is no excuse for pressure sores to happen to anyone - ever.

  • @haileyalexis709 I personally know someone who is not an elder who has stage 2 pressure sores. Why? Because he sits in front of his computer for way too long, for hours on end.

    Just fyi.

  • elders abuse other people too!!!!!!!

  • how about don't abuse any one at all?

    elders shouldn't abuse any one either!!!

  • comprehensive, concise, and well explained. Thank you.

  • Dr. Mosqueda,

    As the owner of Monarch Senior Care, I found this video much more compelling than the standard CNA training video on Elder Abuse. The parts on reporting were exceptionally helpful as that's not really covered in the videos I've seen so far. They just have a phone #. Thank you!

    May I use this orientation of Caregivers?

  • Dr. Mosqueda,

    Thank you for your continued dedication to Elder Abuse. I have emailed you periodically over the past 6 years trying to get help for my aunt. She passed away in 2006 and I tried to contact you at the Forensic Center and at that time no one was able to help, but watching this video gives me hope that you will be able to help someone.

  • Dr. Mosqueda,

    I have contacted you at various times over the past 6 years regarding my aunt, and I am SO happy to see progression regarding this horrible crime of Elder Abuse. You have the ability to make such a difference and I felt encouraged after watching this video. Thank you for taking the time to do this video on YouTube.

  • YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A FUCKING DOCTOR TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE WHO IS BEING HEAVILY DRUGGED AND GIVEN STARVATION LEVELS OF GLUCOSE ONLY, IS BEING MURDERED! Do you fucks think that you can fool everybody? All you scum are nothing but the money-grubbing whores of the medical insurance companies. You have no more integrity than a bunch of drug-dealing crack whores and you call yourselves PROFESSIONALS".What a fucking joke.You're no better than lawyers.

  • n if the elderly or disabled patient acts like they want 2 leave,u drug them heavily so that they sleep most of the time even during the day,n u strap them down"for their own safety",or is it 2 prevent them from getting to a telephone 2 call the police or their family?Then u try starving them to death while they are so drugged they can't object.U starve them by givingIVs w/ very low glucose levels so that their body weakens n eventually 1 or more organ systems will fail n they will die.Murder!

  • HOSPICE is a disgrace to the medical profession and to this country.The truth about what you do is this:When people get tired of taking care of their elderly parents or severely disabled children or relatives, YOU SCUM send a "caring" salesperson/representative to talk it over with whoever has the Power of Attorney etc of this person.Then you get them to sign a release so that they give written permission to Hospice to take that person into their "custody".Then you "imprison" the patient

  • Thank you Dr. Mosqueda! As a doctoral student (DPT) I found this video invaluable.
