Elder Abuse Recovery Plan

An Elder Abuse Recovery Plan is a comprehensive strategy developed by a healthcare provider, social worker, or other professional to help an elderly individual who has experienced abuse, neglect, or exploitation to recover from the physical, emotional, and financial effects of the abuse. The plan is based on a thorough assessment of the elderly person’s needs and goals, and may include a range of interventions and services, such as medical treatment, counseling, legal advocacy, financial management, and social support. The plan is developed in collaboration with the elderly person and their family members or other support persons, and is regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that it remains responsive to the elderly person’s changing needs and circumstances. An Elder Abuse Recovery Plan may also include strategies for preventing future abuse, such as safety planning, risk assessment, and coordination with law enforcement and protective services. The ultimate goal of an Elder Abuse Recovery Plan is to help the elderly person to heal from the trauma of abuse, regain their independence and autonomy, and improve their overall quality of life.
