What's new in elder abuse programming? Four bright ideas

RS Wolf and K Pillemer
Institute on Aging, Medical Center of Central Massachusetts, Worcester 01605.

This article presents four "best practice models" that address some common problems faced by community agencies working with elder abuse cases: a multidisciplinary case consultation team; a senior advocate volunteer program; a victim support group; and a master's of social work degree specialization in adult protective services. Their relatively low cost, flexibility, and level of success make them worthy of replication.
