Abstract

Elder abuse and neglect is a prevalent, underrecognized problem among today's senior citizens. Fortunately, awareness is increasing, and services are being provided to elders on a more ready basis. Still, the emergency care provider must act as a patient advocate and assume responsibility for the detection, treatment, and safe disposition of unfortunate victims.
