No. In fact, the Caribbean Community of Retired Persons (CCRP) highlighted the vulnerability of older persons, including persons living with dementia, such as financial abuse and neglect from their relatives and caregivers, especially where they had no relatives in Jamaica and were completely dependent on the caregiver (the Jamaica Gleaner, 2019). Currently, legislation is not specific to older persons or persons with dementia and so there is little opportunity for redress for older persons with dementia in these cases.
