Patient abuse and neglect is a daily occurrence in our nation’s medicaland psychiatric hospitals, nursing homes, group homes, and other carefacilities. But it is not just in institutional settings where at-risk adultsare vulnerable. Crimes of abuse also occur in private homes, beyond thesight of regulators, medical professionals, and even family members.Using real-world examples from Joseph Bostwick’s extensive careerleading investigations into cases of patient abuse, The Patient Abuseand Neglect of Our Vulnerable Adults provides law enforcementofficers, investigators, legal staff, government regulatory agencies, andcare providers with the critical information they need to effectivelyconduct criminal and administrative investigations into allegations ofpatient mistreatment and neglect. It also provides families and friendswith information and resources for identifying and preventing the abuseand neglect of loved ones.Today, we tend to our vulnerable adults who served our country duringWorld War II, the generation that literally saved the world. Tomorrow,another wave of vulnerable adults awaits our care and protection. Thebattle against patient abuse and neglect is never-ending, and well-intentionedsupport and informed diligence is crucial, today and always.
