| Annotation | In this consideration of elder abuse in Israel, a broad definition of abuse was used, which includes the "classical" forms presented in the literature, also violation of rights and any act that infringes residents' quality of life. As no data exist which directly explored this issue, the analysis was based on: recent laws mandating the report of abuse; governmental surveillance data; court cases; news cuttings; and data from quality of life studies. Findings reveal that abuse in its "classical" form exists only in a limited number of small private unlicensed facilities. However, when using the broader definition, abuse is a reality in many settings, exercised mainly by nurses' aides. (RH). |
