All Home Care Matters

Every 3 seconds a new case of dementia is diagnosed somewhere in the world, joining the already more than 55 million people living with the disease. Dementia, a general term for a group of similar diseases including Alzheimer’s, is a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions.

All Home Care Matters

While people who are diagnosed with dementia are able to give consent in some areas, there are no guidelines, let alone rights or laws, when it comes to posting information, including photos and videos, on social media. Many people with dementia aren’t capable of understanding the complexity of what it means to agree to have something posted on social media sites, where it can be manipulated and exploited.

The “Ethics of Dementia and Social Media” forum will examine the ethical challenges that can come from the far-reaching implications of individuals with dementia being posted on social media. “We live in a world now where anyone can take a photo or record a video of someone and put it out on social media,” said Slatton, host of the popular All Home Care Matters podcast/TV show.

“But I am capable of making that decision because I understand what is being posted and shared and I understand what social media is. But a person suffering with dementia does not and they need to be protected. We need to remember that every person with dementia is still a person and deserves and is entitled to respect and dignity.”

Slatton is hoping that this panel and discussion will help lead to a much broader discussion across the dementia community and hopefully help protect people with dementia from being abused and exploited.
