 These could all be signs of elder abuse. Don’t dismiss it check it out be proactive about it. Ask lots of questions don’t stay slient. If you find something  contact the provider and the police. Keep reporting it until you get action. Get help so it stops and is investigated properly.The elderly are very vulnerable and often can not defend themselves. They rely on others to love, support, and keep them  safe. Also there are agencies who you can contact for help. Contact NSW elder abuse helpline 1800628221.
