The Clearinghouse on Abuse and Neglect of the Elderly, or CANE, is established and located at University of Delaware. It is the nation's largest archive of published research, training resources, government documents and other sources on elder abuse and related issues.CANE operates along with the National Center on Elder Abuse (www.ncea.aoa.gov) and both function as distinctive, multi-disciplinary consortiums with expertise in elder abuse, exploitation and neglect.

For many years, the NCEA collaborators have worked towards assisting our nation in better understanding and responding to elder abuse, exploitation and neglect. Collaborators in the above have emerged from a range of professional fields making NCEA a valuable resource to many professionals working with victims of elder maltreatment, including: adult protective services; national, state, and local aging networks; law enforcement; health care professionals; domestic violence networks; and others.

"Paradise Costs-A Victim’s Daughter Fights Back against Elder Abuse," an interactive book, invites readers to participate in raising awareness of abuse, neglect and exploitation of the elderly. A proactive book including tear-out, prewritten letters to federal legislators ready to be signed and mailed, Paradise Cost, also offers an actual forensic report of a victim of abuse and exploitation.Additionally, the book contains the pioneering work of Bennett Blum, M.D., an internationally known forensic and geriatric psychiatrist. His work, now recognized and taught in most of the Western Hemisphere, defines undue influence and diminishing mental capacity in the elderly as well as many types of medical and psychiatric conditions affecting cognition.

It's estimated that elder abuse, neglect and exploitation will effect one-in-six elders.
