“…The presence of older detainees with possible cognitive impairment suggests that this is an area where additional awareness among police staff may be required. Given that disinhibited behaviour can be an early feature of cognitive impairment (Starkstein et al, 2004;van Hooren and Waterwink, 2015), this presentation, especially among older detainees, should trigger a referral for psychiatric assessment and/or diversion where appropriate.…”

Newcastle University ePrints -eprint.ncl.ac.uk McKinnon I, Hayes A, Grubin D. Health characteristics of older police custody detainees in London, UK. AbstractThe number of older adults involved in the criminal justice system is rising. Little is known about the state of health in older people who are arrested. This study compared characteristics and healthcare needs of older police custody detainees with their younger counterparts. The health characteristics of 57 police detainees aged over 50 were compared with 543 younger detainees.Older detainees had significantly higher rates of physical illness and risk of alcohol withdrawal.Although there were equivalent rates of mental disorder and drug taking compared with younger detainees, a higher proportion had presentations consistent with cognitive impairment due to possible dementing processes. Over 80% of older detainees were recommended to have a health assessment in police stations based on their presentation.Police detainees over 50 should be considered to have a health assessment as routine procedure.Further investigation should also be conducted into cognitive impairment in this group.

“…These included disruption concerning eating patterns, sleeping patterns, mood, engagement and aggression (Hayward et al, 2012;Hooren & Waterink, 2015;Mioshi et al, 2013) which often appeared to impact the way the caregivers felt (Hall et al, 2014). A lack of understanding around these behaviours appeared to lead to negative feelings regarding those residents suggesting the finding of Stokes et al (2014) regarding family caregivers' understanding may also be applicable to professional caregivers.…”

“…Individuals living with dementia, especially in more advanced stages, might display a plethora of behavioural changes which often involve dramatic fluctuations in sleeping patterns, eating behaviour, mood, sexual behaviour, aggression propensity, interpersonal skills, self-care and temperament (Hayward, Robertson, & Knight, 2012; Hooren & Waterink, 2015; Ikeda, Brown, Holland, Fukuhara, & Hodges, 2002; Mioshi et al, 2013). Furthermore, other behaviours might emerge as dementia progresses: delusions, agitation, depression, anxiety, indifference and aberrant motor behaviour (Pieper et al, 2013).…”

Aim: The present study aimed to explore the impact that changes in behavioural symptoms of people living with dementia have on professional caregiver and resident relationships. Method: A total of 21 interviews were carried out with professional caregivers of people living with dementia. A grounded theory approach was used to investigate everyday experiences of provision of professional care in dementia settings, focussing specifically on the effect of behavioural change on such relationships. Results: A core category emerged from this analysis: 'Developing behaviour in dementia impacts relationships on a personal and professional level'. Discussion: Professionals have recognized as part of their everyday practice an eventual deterioration in relationships between themselves as professional caregivers and the residents, but also between the residents and their family members and among residents themselves. Importantly, understanding patients' behaviour and behavioural change was identified as a crucial factor to achieve and sustain good relationships between professionals and residents suffering with dementia.
