In this systematic literature review, we identify and describe a number of innovative, best practice, and evidencebased practices, models, and programs in the field of elder maltreatment. A total of 161 abstracts, reports and articles were reviewed using various databases, national organizations, clearinghouses, websites, and other references in journal articles and reports. Review, descriptive, and informational articles were ultimately excluded. Sixty-seven articles met the final criteria: 28 evidence-based practices, 22 best practices, and 17 emerging/innovative practices. Findings provide up-to-date practice approaches and research on elder mistreatment to professionals who work with older adults. We also highlight a number of findings and directions for future research. This article adds to the overall knowledge of current practices to investigate, intervene, and mitigate elder abuse and neglect.

“…A number of screening protocols have been developed to assist the assessment process, some specific to hospital or emergency department settings (Jones et al 1988;Fulmer and Birkenhauer 1992); others for use by community workers (Hamilton 1989;Kosberg 1988). These concentrate on physical abuse and neglect, and underrepresent other forms of abuse (Sengstock and Hwalek 1987).…”

There has been little research in Australia on the effectiveness of various interventions in cases of elder abuse and neglect. Overseas (particularly US) studies have identified four main types of intervention: (1) assessment; (2) casework; (3) legal interventions; and (4) development of social policies to address the causes of abuse and neglect. This article reviews the findings on effective intervention strategies. Particular attention is paid to the findings of recent research by the Hornsby Kuring-gai Geriatric & Rehabilitation Service, especially interviews with victims of elder abuse. The implications for individual casework and future research are highlighted.

“…It has been shown to result in family distress, impaired life functioning [9], and cognitive difficulties [4]. Factors such as abuse history [18,19], age and gender of perpetrators [20][21][22][23], pathology of the perpetrator [24][25][26] dependence [27][28][29], social isolation [17,18,[30][31][32][33], depression [25,[34][35][36][37][38], and caregiver emotional problems [25,26,37,39,40] have been postulated to be related to mistreatment. In addition, cognitive impairment has been identified as a unique risk factor that may increase risk for mistreatment in older persons [1,33,38,41,42].…”

Background: Elder mistreatment is a serious issue affecting between 300,000 and 800,000 older adults. Elder mistreatment has serious consequences for older adults and can include immunological dysfunction, increased mortality and emotional difficulties such as depression, feelings of inadequacy and self-contempt. Sub-groups such as persons with Alzheimer's disease have heightened risk for elder mistreatment, but it is not clear whether this heightened risk represents life-long patterns of abuse between persons or whether they represent a change in conflict style over time as a result of changes associated with dementia.
