Elder Abuse Follow-Up Action Plan

An Elder Abuse Follow-Up Action Plan is a document that outlines the steps that will be taken to support a victim of elder abuse after an initial report or investigation has been completed. The plan typically includes a list of the services and resources that will be provided to the victim, such as counseling, legal assistance, or housing support, as well as a timeline for when each service will be delivered. It may also include information about any ongoing safety concerns or risk factors that need to be addressed, as well as strategies for monitoring the victim’s well-being and ensuring that their needs are being met over time. The follow-up action plan is usually developed by a case manager or social worker who is responsible for coordinating the victim’s care, in consultation with the victim and their family members. The plan may be reviewed and updated regularly to ensure that it remains responsive to the victim’s changing needs and circumstances. The goal of the follow-up action plan is to provide a comprehensive and individualized approach to supporting the victim’s recovery and well-being, and to prevent further abuse from occurring in the future. By ensuring that victims receive the ongoing support and services they need, the follow-up action plan can help to promote healing, empowerment, and long-term safety for older adults who have experienced abuse.
