Elder mistreatment is a complex and nuanced phenomenon, crossing medical, legal, social, financial, and familial domains. Case response and redress often necessitate the guidance of inter-sectorial professionals. Elder abuse multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) draw upon the unique perspectives and collective expertise of members who meet regularly to review cases and discuss options for intervention. MDTs vary in scope, process, and composition but may include health care practitioners, mental health services, adult protective services (APS), long-term care ombudsmen, victim services, civil legal aid, prosecutors, and financial services providers.
