The potential for abuse is certainly present, but the article reveals few relevant facts. I have seen cases myself in which an aged person believes himself to be fully capable of taking care of himself but in fact is demonstrably impaired by dementia. You have to ask yourself--is it wise to send an 85 year old post surgery patient home to live alone? When you don't know whether he understands what time of day it is?
