What Would You Do? Season 12 Episode 6 Caregiver Takes Advantage of Patient With Dementia

What Would You Do? season 12 episode 6 tackles the heartbreaking and topical issue of caregiver exploitation of dementia patients. The show begins with a caregiver asserting her power over a vulnerable patient with dementia by humiliating her in front of other staff members. As the show progresses, more and more examples of how the caregiver is taking advantage of the patient come to light. In one particularly moving scene, the caregiver takes the patient's bank card and pin number, and withdraws money from her account. In another, she tells the patient to buy her a gift at a store and keeps the change.

Throughout the episode, actors portray various characters who interact with the caregiver and patient, giving the audience a glimpse into how people respond to this type of abuse. Will they speak out and intervene, or will they ignore the signs and turn a blind eye to the exploitation of a vulnerable person?

As the episode progresses, the scenarios become increasingly distressing, causing some viewers to question whether the situations being presented are real or staged. However, the show's producers assure viewers that all scenarios are based on real-life situations faced by elderly persons suffering from dementia.

The show takes an expert approach to the topic, with interviews with professionals in the field of geriatric care, who share their knowledge and insights on how best to care for individuals with dementia, and how to spot and report caregiver abuse.

What Would You Do? season 12 episode 6 is a gripping episode that sheds light on the disturbing issue of caregiver exploitation of dementia patients. It embodies the show's ethos of revealing the best and worst of human behavior in various situations, and hopefully, encourages viewers to reflect on how they would respond in similar situations.
