Elder Mistreatment by National Research Council,Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education,Committee on Law and Justice,Committee on National Statistics,Panel to Review Risk and Prevalence of Elder Abuse and Neglect Pdf

Since the late 1970s when Congressman Claude Pepper held widely publicized hearings on the mistreatment of the elderly, policy makers and practitioners have sought ways to protect older Americans from physical, psychological, and financial abuse. Yet, during the last 20 years fewer than 50 articles have addressed the shameful problem that abusersâ€"and sometimes the abused themselvesâ€"want to conceal. Elder Mistreatment in an Aging America takes a giant step toward broadening our understanding of the mistreatment of the elderly and recommends specific research and funding strategies that can be used to deepen it. The book includes a discussion of the conceptual, methodological, and logistical issues needed to create a solid research base as well as the ethical concerns that must be considered when working with older subjects. It also looks at problems in determination of a report's reliability and the role of physicians, EMTs, and others who are among the first to recognize situations of mistreatment. Elder Mistreatment in an Aging America will be of interest to anyone concerned about the elderly and ways to intervene when abuse is suspected, including family members, caregivers, and advocates for the elderly. It will also be of interest to researchers, research sponsors, and policy makers who need to know how to advance our knowledge of this problem.

Surviving Elder Financial Abuse by Lynette N Tannis Pdf

Using a true and flavorful narrative, this book captures the elder financial abuse experiences of an elderly woman - from the day of her rescue through seven months of her recovery. A woman (Sharonita) befriended Diedre nearly eight years ago; and in a short period of time, began taking full advantage of Diedre. To gain greater access to Diedre's finances, Sharonita encouraged Diedre to rent a two-bedroom apartment with her daughter, who was 40 years younger than Diedre. Within one year residing in this property, with the daughter who also worked at a pharmaceutical company, Diedre's memory began to dwindle. She was an emotional wreck and was in significant financial debt. Prior to this newfound friendship, Diedre maintained more than $70,000 in her Wells Fargo checking and savings accounts. By the time of her rescue, Diedre had $500. There were all sorts of large cash withdrawals, personal loans, and credit cards used for this woman, her family and anyone else's benefit, as they saw fit. Diedre was rescued by a former teacher she met and worked with when she was a school principal in Plainfield, New Jersey, more than two decades ago. They always kept in touch and Lynette knew something was not right. How could a former assistant superintendent, now retired with her full pension, and still an education consultant, not have enough money to cover her bills? After the rescue, much was uncovered, including some of Diedre's own skeletons; and of course, the elder financial abuse. This book is a story of triumph and hope. The burden felt overwhelming at times and that was even with having Lynette as her advocate. Imagine if Diedre had to walk this alone? Would that even be possible? Diedre is now a survivor and her story will inspire millions of elders who find themselves as victims, to fight and take a stand for their lives!

Elder Abuse and Its Prevention by National Research Council,Institute of Medicine,Board on Global Health,Forum on Global Violence Prevention Pdf

Elder Abuse and Its Prevention is the summary of a workshop convened in April 2013 by the Institute of Medicine's Forum on Global Violence Prevention. Using an ecological framework, this workshop explored the burden of elder abuse around the world, focusing on its impacts on individuals, families, communities, and societies. Additionally, the workshop addressed occurrences and co-occurrences of different types of abuse, including physical, sexual, emotional, and financial, as well as neglect. The ultimate objective was to illuminate promising global and multisectoral evidence-based approaches to the prevention of elder maltreatment. While the workshop covered scope and prevalence and unique characteristics of abuse, the intention was to move beyond what is known about elder abuse to foster discussions about how to improve prevention, intervention, and mitigation of the victims' needs, particularly through collaborative efforts. The workshop discussions included innovative intervention models and opportunities for prevention across sectors and settings. Violence and related forms of abuse against elders is a global public health and human rights problem with far-reaching consequences, resulting in increased death, disability, and exploitation with collateral effects on well-being. Data suggest that at least 10 percent of elders in the United States are victims of elder maltreatment every year. In low- and middle-income countries, where the burden of violence is the greatest, the figure is likely even higher. In addition, elders experiencing risk factors such as diminishing cognitive function, caregiver dependence, and social isolation are more vulnerable to maltreatment and underreporting. As the world population of adults aged 65 and older continues to grow, the implications of elder maltreatment for health care, social welfare, justice, and financial systems are great. However, despite the magnitude of global elder maltreatment, it has been an underappreciated public health problem. Elder Abuse and Its Prevention discusses the prevalence and characteristics of elder abuse around the world, risk factors for abuse and potential adverse health outcomes, and contextually specific factors, such as culture and the role of the community.
