National Co-Laboratory to Address Elder Mistreatment

Grant Summary

A grant to the Education Development Center will convene leading national experts in four states across the country to develop, test and evaluate a prototype model of intervention for victims of elder mistreatment. An estimated 10 percent of older adults—5 million people—are victims of elder abuse, neglect, exploitation and other forms of mistreatment. The intervention to be developed will ensure that older people seen in hospital settings, including emergency rooms, will be assessed for potential mistreatment and will receive appropriate treatment and referral.
