Rationale: The typical elder abuse victim is a woman of advanced age with physical and/or mental impairment who usually depends on the abuser for care. The client with dementia is the most defenseless as the result of the disease process and requires significant hands-on assistance and care. Socio-economic factors are not relevant. Elders with health-related problems are often still capable of independent living and of attending to their needs.
