      "title": "Elder Abuse",
      "summary": "Under federal law, elder abuse is defined as the abuse, neglect, and exploitation of an older individual. All 50 states and the District of Columbia have enacted some form of elder abuse prevention law and have state agencies, such as Adult Protective Services (APS), to help achieve compliance with those laws. Specific provisions vary considerably from one jurisdiction to another, but all states have set up reporting systems. This report summarizes the various approaches used pertaining to elder abuse, including mandatory reporting laws and legal remedies available to victims of elder abuse.",
