Answer to Question 1

compulsive hoarding.

Answer to Question 2

Elders may offer financial support to their caregivers who then take advantage of
them. Caregivers may initially be equipped to assist the elder but escalating frailty
frustrates them resulting in unmet needs. Resentment may build as family members
are called upon to care for someone who may no longer recognize them. Common
forms of elder abuse include spending the elder's assets, over-medicating the elder,
and using restraints. Abuse may escalate to more clear-cut physical abuse. Ways to
prevent elder abuse include providing support for caregivers such as respite care,
realizing that caring for an ill or frail elder in the home may be unwise, and providing
more safety nets in the community for elders and their caregivers.
