abstract="An intervention model to combat abuse/neglect of seniors is outlined in this article. Central model elements are: (a) a &quot;tool package&quot;; (b) teams to design and execute intervention strategies, and advise on health, financial, and criminal/legal problems; (c) &quot;volunteer buddies&quot; to listen, monitor for abuse, and assist; (d) a victims' empowerment group; and (e) a community abuse committee for community advocacy/education. Three innovative elements, the tool package, volunteer buddies, and the empowerment group, are described in greater detail. Strengths of the model include its low additional cost; multidisciplinary, collaborative approach; use of validated abuse screens; evaluation of intervention strategies; and diversity of intervention elements.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
