 The Seniors' Intervention and Support Program of Catholic Family Services of Hamilton has been providing services for older persons who are experiencing some form of abuse.
Complaints of elder abuse, be it physical, financial, psychological, neglect or self-neglect are assessed bt the case co-ordinator and a service plan is developed with the clients input. Personal visits at home or another comfortable meeting place is arranged to discuss the concerns that the client has, what options are available and how best to co-ordinate choices. The least intrusive recommendations are always considered first and foremost.
