Finally if possible I will identify at least one at risk family and attempt to determine how future events of abuse and/or neglect could be avoided through support.
a. Analysis of new research conducted for this study, to determine present state and recommend further research.
b. Evaluation of new research conducted for this study, to determine present state and recommend future research.
5. Ethical review of developing standards for training and intervention.
a. Review intent of individuals to remain independent and still receive adequate daily care.
b. Involve options training including meal support, home care support and even options for residential care for both elders and care providers.

Project Title/Problem Statement: "The barriers to effectively recognize, report, and respond to the needs of older persons who are abused, neglected,...
When those needs are not being met or even worse when the dependence becomes a burden to another the risk of abuse and neglect can become a serious issue or problem. (Jones, Holstege & Holstege, 1997) in rural America this issue is compounded by relative isolation as well as often limited access to healthcare, a point of contact that can serve as a recognition point for problems and concerns regarding unmet needs (neglect) or overt abuse or exploitation.
Research questions will include: A clear and concise definition of intervention level maltreatment of elders. Etiology of elder maltreatment, i.e. how often and to who is it happening? What existing systems are in place to recognize and respond to reports or need for investigation in the rural community? How can those systems be supported and bolstered to respond more effectively to recognize, reports and respond to the needs of elder persons at risk or in situations of maltreatment?
The Science Direct Database offers a significant set of research based and review works that address the issues regarding elder maltreatment, including those associated with
Elder abuse and neglect is an unaddressed problem all over the world, as the population ages certain members of it become dependent upon family and other caregivers to meet their daily needs. When those needs are not being met or even worse when the dependence becomes a burden to another the risk of abuse and neglect can become a serious issue or problem. (Jones, Holstege & Holstege, 1997) in rural America this issue is compounded by relative isolation as well as often limited access to healthcare, a point of contact that can serve as a recognition point for problems and concerns regarding unmet needs (neglect) or overt abuse or exploitation.

Even with under reporting, approximately 5% of elder women are likely abused to the point where they seek medical attention at least annually. These women are often well-known in their communities, so when they come into the emergency room with some story of malady, they know everyone will want to about what happened. In some cases, the trend is becoming more supportive, though. As educational programs transend economic barriers;
The training system would also include several reporting tools including but not limited to an abuse questionnaire offered to those who they perceive as being at risk, which would be included as part of the health interview and to be administered to those who present in care settings and a system of follow up responses, contacts and alternatives associated with the event. "Although physicians and nurses are best positioned
At this stage, agism entails that many older people are made to feel that they are a burden not only on society, but also on those who are obliged to care for them (Holstein, Parks, and Waymack, 2011, p. 130). This in turn creates related ethical concerns such as sexism, since the most common informal caregivers for older relatives are women. There are two basic forms of care that people
Physical Abuse of Older People by Their Families When grandpa and grandma are getting on in years and they are living with their children, the data from reliable sources shows that in far too many cases, physical abuse is visited upon the elderly family members by their own children or grandchildren. This is a travesty but moreover it is a felony to physically abuse older people, and family members guilty of
This can also be done to enable one attain a restraining order against their spouse while in the course of getting a divorce. In conclusion, victims of domestic violence should be treated fairly and not discriminated against because of their gender. The system needs to make adjustment so as to be able to accommodate cases of domestic violence and abuse against men. The reason why these cases are rising is
