Abstract
The services provided for elder abuse victims in this project included shelter at the nursing home, a telephone service, and a support group. During the almost two years of experimental work, 31 women and 5 men used the shelters. Overall, 137 phone calls concerning elder abuse were received. The majority of callers and victims were women; four to ten people participated in the support group. The barriers for seeking help in an abuse case were rather high among the elderly. As a result of the experimental work, we found that by developing the functions of the nursing home, various services could be created which could prevent domestic violence and help the abused persons free themselves from the abuse and the abusers.
