Popis:	This historical summary demonstrates that concern about elder abuse and neglect in long-term care facilities has played a vital role in the development and expansion of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program (LTCOP). Some 15 years after the Older Americans Act mandated ombudsman services in all nursing homes, the 1989-1990 state LTCOP reports were analyzed for information about abuse and neglect of elders in nursing homes nationwide. Following a brief review of the nursing home abuse literature, this paper reports on the findings from the 1989-90 reports about complaints of abuse and neglect and their implications for future research.
