Topic: Duty to Report Elder Abuse
The elderly make up one of the fastest growing populations in the United States and require specialized care due to the physical and mental health issues they face in later years. Long-term-care facilities to assist with their care are growing, and resulting concerns about the facilities providing professional and nonviolent care are growing as well. Refer to your text and to individual research. Suggest which alternative for elder care you believe is better: (a) home-based care or (b) long-term-care facilities, and why. Compare and contrast the two alternatives in your response and focus on reduction of elder abuse as your main concern.
