Im a nurse and work in a nursing home, the problem I have is we have an elderly man who is on the sex offenders register, he also has dementia, it worries me because we have vulnerable residents and we are right next door to a nursery!!

As asked, is he registered? The problem I see is if he has Dementia. Dementia heightens sex impulses. Then u have a person who already has/had problems when it came to boundaries sexually. An AL may not want this problem. Its not fair to the residents. They need to feel safe in their home. And an AL is considered their home.

I would consult a lawyer to see what rights this man has. He may need to be medicated.

Is he on the registry right now? If not, there’s no legal requirement to disclose, just as there aren’t requirements for men who had strangled their wives to disclose.

If you tell us a little more about your situation, we could possibly advise on what to do. Are you currently taking care of this person? How disabled is he? Does he need 24 hour supervision? Are social workers involved?

I think you may have a very difficult time finding accommodations. People in care are completely helpless. There will not be any risks taken knowingly I would think.

You signed up to a forum of caregivers to elderly loved ones from around the world.

You may have quite a bit of trouble finding managed care for a known sex offender, aggressive or not. Contact an elder care attorney in your area for guidance.
