20th ANNUAL OGS CONFERENCEOCTOBER 2019 - RECAPEllen Waldman, a certified aging life care professional was a 1st-timeattendee to our OGS Annual Conference. She was so excited toattend and subsequently brought four more professional care givers,all from the Rogue Valley. Ellen writes for Ashland-area agingresources and has a website, www.SeniorOptionsAshland.comEllen shares her November 5, 2019 column she wrote:Conference Offers Tips On Spotting Elder AbuseI attended the Oregon Geriatrics Society 20th Annual Conference onOct. 4-6 in Sunriver Here’s how they described it: “For health careprofessionals who care for older adults.” It was my first time at thisparticular conference, and I went with a wonderful group of other professionals from the Rogue Valley.This conference primarily focused on medical providers, and we were all so pleased to be included atthis event. If you know of a medical or older-adult-focused practitioner who might be interested in thisconference, I give it my highest recommendations. Next year’s conference is scheduled for Oct. 2-4,2020, and Sunriver is where it’s always held. You will love this!Courtesy photo Caregivers from theRogue Valley attend the OregonGeriatrics Society conference Oct. 4-6 inSunriver.First row, left to right: Lucy Jackson(Aging Life Care manager); BrookeFredericks (owner, Right at Homecaregiving agency).Second row, left to right: Marya Kain(Aging Life Care manager); EllenWaldman; Gretchen Lizotte (MountainMeadows resident services director).In these next few columns, I will bepresenting some of the information Ireceived that is relevant to our localcommunity of aging adults. Since there were about 20 presentations, I can’t address them all.Let’s start with one topic that was offered twice on different, but related aspects. One presented by twoattorneys was called “Elder Abuse and the Department of Justice.” One of these speakers was with theattorney general’s office and the other with the criminal justice division. The second talk was “AdultProtective Services (APS) Case Studies in Long-Term Care Facilities and Community Settings,” by twoprofessionals in this field. It’s obvious this is a very concerning topic for all aging individuals.In these presentations, it offered some important ways to note the signs of and the importance ofinquiring about potential abuse. They discovered that many people, if asked directly, will admit to aserious problem, but will not reveal this unless this is actually addressed. Something to keep in mind ifyou’re concerned about anyone’s safety.
Here are some other specifics I learned about elder abuse at the conference. Did you know that doctors,among a list of other professionals, have a mandatory duty to verbally report this? They also used aterm, polyvictimization, which means that if someone is being abused in one way, that person usually isbeing abused in other ways as well. For example, most cases of verbal abuse indicate that financialabuse is also occurring. And sad to say, but the majority of abusers (90%) are family members: spousesor partners, adult children or grandchildren; or other trusted individuals. In 2018 in Oregon, of all theforms of abuse (verbal, physical, neglect, etc.), financial exploitation had the largest percentage at 36%.Frequently these cases involve adult sons living with their aging mothers. I have seen this myself toomany times here and know how serious and devastating this is. It’s also perfect timing for this column,since from 9:30am-3:30pm, Nov. 14, there will be a free, annual elder abuse conference at the MedfordLibrary. And since the focus is on financial aspects of abuse, it’s really important. You will learn about therisk factors and how to protect yourself from this form of abuse. It’s presented by Senior and DisabilityServices at Rogue Valley Council of Government (RVCOG). The keynote speaker is Billie McNeely,Adult Protective Department’s elder financial exploitation specialist. There will also be a panel of localexperts, and happily for all, lunch is provided. If you would like to register, please visitrvcog.eventbrite.com.Everyone should also know how to report any type of suspected abuse anywhere in the state. Call theDepartment of Human Services (DHS) Hotline at 1-855-503-SAFE (7233). You can remain anonymousand help someone who might need your intervention. In fact, there is a statute which provides immunityto any person who reports abuse in good faith. The person they are concerned about can be living intheir own home, or in any community-type facility, such as assisted living, dementia care or adult fostercare homes. There is so much more to be said on this topic and the various forms of abuse that cantake place in someone’s life. Plan to attend this upcoming event, or go online to get more info and protectyourself and your loved ones. Online, you can go to the National Center on Elder Abuse: ncea.acl.gov.They have educational materials and publications to help you out. It’s too sad that we need organizationslike this one and the local upcoming event, but this information is key to being safer.A collection of brochures, meeting agendas, and list of board members – dating back 20 years!
