Aged Rights Advocacy Service programs help older people in nursing homes as well as those receiving community services at home or who are at risk of or are actually experiencing elder abuse. The Abuse Prevention Program (APP) focuses on the rights, safety, and well-being of older people, and along with ARAS, provides education sessions for community groups and staff of aging care organizations while assisting them to develop policies and procedures in responding to abuse. The APP helps older people exercise their rights, develops support systems, and provides options to allow individuals to choose intervention strategies. The Abuse Prevention Program also provides educational sessions to community groups and organizations, for example, protocol development. The focus is to assist older people to plan for the future (Aged Rights Advocacy Service, n.d.).
