| Annotation | This double issue of the Journal looks at the projects of the Archstone Foundation's Elder Abuse and Neglect Initiative, California (US). The work described is being undertaken by a diverse group of people, i.e academics, nonprofit organizations, government agencies and this issue helps to promote promising practices and communicate lessons learned. Currently, it is estimated that approximately 2 million older adults, representing 5% of Americans aged 65 and over, are subject to abuse and neglect each year at the hands of the very people they depend on for care. The Archstone Foundation is a private grantmaking organisation whose mission is to contribute toward the preparation of society in meeting the needs of an ageing population. In 2006, the Foundation launched a five year US$8 million Elder Abuse and Neglect Initiative with the goal of improving the quality and coordination of elder abuse and neglect service in the state of California. There are currently 20 projects that comprise the Initiative in the Foundation. (KJ). |
