Evidence-Based Approaches to Remedy and Also to Prevent Abuse of Community-Dwelling Older Persons
Elder abuse is a global issue, with an estimated 4–10% of older persons in Canada abused each year. Although Canadian legislation has been created to prevent and punish the abuse of older persons living in nursing homes and other care facilities, incidence remains high. Wilson, D. M., Ratajewicz, S. E., Els, C., & Asirifi, M. A. (2011). Evidence-based approaches to remedy and also to prevent abuse of community-dwelling older persons.

Abuse: One of Canada's many senior care problems
Video; A rise in abuse is one of Canada's many problems when it comes to senior care. From 2011 to 2016 there was a 148 per cent increase in reported incidents of abuse in Ontario long-term care homes. On average in 2016 six seniors were abused every day.
