Mapping Elder Mistreatment Cases: Interactions Between Mistreatment, Dementia, Service Utilization, Access to Services, and Disadvantage

Responding to the financial abuse of people with dementia: a qualitative study of safeguarding experiences in England

“…Poorer people with dementia are also suggested to be more likely to refuse services overall (Payne and Gainey, 2009). The interviews revealed confidence in LPAs and associated legal frameworks suggesting that this may be a policy option for other countries.…”

“…While amounts being misappropriated may be small in size they might be the entire income of many people with dementia and give rise to suspicions that society is more concerned to protect the assets of the more affluent rather than poorer people with dementia or others who are unable to manage their money. Poorer people with dementia are also suggested to be more likely to refuse services overall (Payne and Gainey, 2009). This risk to people on low incomes stands in stark contrast with the scrutiny of LPAs and deputies who may be responsible for safeguarding the financial affairs of the more affluent.…”

The role of geographic information system and global positioning system in dementia care and research: a scoping review

“…Some studies used mapping in preparing exposure data [67], arsenic concentrations [96], ozone levels [97], spatial distributions of air pollutants [98] and ranking countries in medical tourism [56]. Three studies mapped access to services [14,16,99], and only one used resource allocation related to the care of dementia patients [64]. Also, one study used mapping to visualize patients' mobility patterns [100].…”

“…Five articles focused on health access using GIS approaches such as distance-based analysis [14,16,64,99,132] and geo-simulation [99] to measure spatial accessibility in the USA [16,99], Ireland [14], Taiwan [64] and Japan [132]. Three studies examined accessibility to services [14,16,64] for patients and caregivers, and the other studies focused on accessibility to brain bank donation centers [99], and screening sites [132]. Only one study used descriptive mapping to visualize the geographical variation of drugs used in dementia care [15].…”

“…Furthermore, some studies used explanatory spatial analysis to identify associations between dementia occurrence and environmental risk factors [13]. GIS can also be used to measure spatial accessibility to healthcare services [14], determining the spatial distribution of medicines [15] or services needed by patients [16].…”
