Abstract
ABSTRACT Presently the available intervention in the state of Texas for abused or neglected elders is that delivered by the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services. The Harris County Hospital District has a comprehensive Geriatric Program staffed by an interdisciplinary team. The purpose of this report is to describe the team's experience with nine neglected or abused elders who underwent interdisciplinary geriatric assessment and intervention with three and six-month follow-up. Two illustrative cases are described in detail. This series of nine patients who were neglected or abused illustrates the potential impact of a medical intervention program.
