The report identifies and prioritizes actions that direct service providers, educators, and researchers can take to benefit older adults facing abuse, neglect or financial exploitation. Likewise, it provides a roadmap for strategic investment and engagement by policymakers in both the public and private sectors to advance our collective efforts to prevent and combat elder abuse at the local, state and national levels.

Impressive project!
The problem is, in my opinion, that they talk to the "experts" and many of those experts have no actual experience. They need input from victims.
Exactly, StandUp. In Virginia, many of our "experts" are public officials who regularly, shamelessly sweep the actual complaints of actual clients under the rug, occupy themselves making eloquent, rosy, phony speeches about how great the public guardianship programs are, and "shoot the messenger" by maliciously defaming anyone who has the audacity to challenge their failure to protect the very people who are the very reason for their JOB.
Then, they complain that there's no money for reform efforts that would increase accountability and oversight.
Ummm, wrong! If we eliminate the JOB of unethical, shameless attorneys who won't do their JOB, those funds will go a long way toward solving these problems.
Really, to cite a recent example, somebody whose rent has not been paid by Jewish Family Service of Tidewater, somebody who is still missing his two front teeth despite thousands of dollars in unexplained dental bills, somebody who has had his limited, dwindling funds stripped to the tune of $3774 by Gregory M. Pomije, Esquire, the unethical, clueless attorney for Jewish Family Service of Tidewater probably cares not at all for your eloquent, rosy, phony speeches, counselors.
Do your JOB, or get out of the way, because these problems are going to be fixed, with or without you.
