Abstract
This article presents four ''best practice models'' that address some common problems faced by community agencies working with elder abuse c ases: a multidisciplinary case consultation team; a senior advocate vo lunteer program; a victim support group; and a master's of social work degree specialization in adult protective services. Their relatively low cost, flexibility, and level of success make them worthy of replic ation.
