Abstract

In this systematic literature review, we identify and describe a number of innovative, best practice, and evidence-based 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.
