“…Elder mistreatment victims often need services, including healthcare, victim, legal, and financial services, from different providers to address abuse and other chronic or serious problems (Dauenhauer et al, 2019 ; Heath et al, 2005 ; Liu et al, 2021 ; Penhale, 2010 ). Based on a recent report from the National Adult Maltreatment Reporting System, the most common services directly provided to clients by APS were victim services, care/case management services, and in-home assistance services.…”

This study examined elder mistreatment victims’ experiences at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on their COVID-19 awareness and unmet needs. San Francisco Adult Protective Services (APS) caseworkers conducted phone interviews with clients or collaterals (client’s family, trusted other, or service provider) to inquire about clients’ awareness of COVID-19 and unmet needs. Nine-hundred-and-thirty-four (71%) of 1,313 APS’ past clients or their collaterals were interviewed, with 741 (79%) responding positively to COVID-19-awareness questions, and 697 (75%) having no unmet needs. Binary logistic regression with Firth adjusted maximum likelihood estimation method revealed that older persons (p < .05), self-neglectors (p < .05), and victims of neglect (p < .05) were less aware of COVID-19. Unmet needs varied by mistreatment type. Victims of isolation were more likely to have medical needs (p < .05), while victims of emotional abuse were more likely to report loneliness (p < .001). Case notes reflected clients who were well-prepared for the pandemic, versus those who required additional assistance to follow preventative measures of the COVID-19 pandemic to stay home. Although the majority of San Francisco APS’ past clients experienced no unmet needs at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the prolonged length and intensity of the pandemic could have exacerbated this vulnerable group’s situation. Collaboration between service providers is key in assisting victims experiencing unmet needs to live safely in a public health crisis, especially underserved victims of specific ethnic backgrounds.

“…The E-IOA, EAI and the EPAS were validated in patients admitted to a hospital, an emergency department and in long-term care (nursing home), respectively. Seven new instruments have been published since June 2015: Risk on Elder Abuse and Mistreatment Instrument (REAMI), 33 Assessment Tool for Domestic Elder Abuse (ATDEA), 34 QualCare Scale, 35 Elder Abuse Risk Assessment and Evaluation (EARAE) tool, 36 short-form measures of four types of elder abuse (financial, emotional/ psychological, physical, neglect), 37 the Lichtenberg Financial Decision Screening Scale (LFDSS), 38 and the Family Members Mistreatment of Older Adults Screening Questionnaire (FAMOASQ). 39 The REAMI, a questionnaire that contains 22 items, was developed and tested using a mixed method design.…”

“…The tool is used to capture information from elder abuse cases in order to determine changes in the level of risk for primary and secondary types of abuse and abuse outcomes to identify and determine changes in contributing risk factors, and track interventions and outcomes. 36 The instrument is comprehensive, especially within the domains of indicators and contributing risk factors for most forms of elder mistreatment, minus self-neglect. However, the tool needs to be validated.…”

“…Four of the included tools are aiming to identify older people at risk for elder abuse (primary prevention); seven tools aim at secondary prevention, the purpose of which is to early detect elder abuse. Four assessment tools; the ATDEA, 34 QualCare Scale, 35,40 the EARAE tool 36 and the LFDSS 38 can be used for both primary and secondary prevention. Moreover, the substantive focus of the tools is different.…”

Only one tool has been developed and validated in a European country (Belgium), the REAMI.…”

Background and Aim: Caregivers in the home environment have an important role in timely detecting and responding to abuse. The aim of this review was to provide insight into both the existing tools for the assessment of and interventions for elder abuse by formal and informal caregivers in the home environment, and to categorize them according to a public health perspective, into primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternary prevention. Methods: We selected the assessment tools and interventions that can be used by caregivers in the home environment included in previous reviews by Gallione et al (2017) and Fearing et al (2017). To identify published studies after these reviews, a search was performed using PubMed, Cochrane Database, CINAHL and Web of Science. Results: In total, fifteen assessment tools and twelve interventions were included. The number of assessment tools for elder abuse for use in the home environment is increasing; however, tools must be validated over different cultures and risk groups. In addition, the tools lack attention for the needs of vulnerable older persons such as persons with dementia. Existing interventions for caregivers in the home environment lack evidence for addressing elder abuse and do not address potential adverse effects (quaternary prevention). Conclusion: Assessment tools for elder abuse need further testing for validity and reliability for use by caregivers in the home environment. For interventions, meaningful outcome measures are needed. Important to note is that quaternary prevention requires more attention. This argues for taking into account perspectives of (abused) older persons and caregivers in the development of assessment tools and interventions protocols.
