A convenience sample of community-dwelling older adults, age 60 years and older, was recruited from three senior centers and included members who frequented the sites and their respective meals-on-wheels clients representing Delaware's three counties and its urban to rural demographic distribution. Senior center participants represent primarily active older adults with a diversity of living arrangements, disabilities, health status, and needs, for which the senior center environment may be their only social outlet or an enhancement to a very social life. While center membership was estimated at 6000 older adults less than one-fourth actually visited the sites during data collection. Meals-on-wheels participants represent primarily home-bound older adults with low visibility in society and research; their only socialization may be the weekday visit by a meal delivery volunteer. The views of both groups of community-dwelling older adults are important for the diversity of variables that contribute to their susceptibility to elder abuse.
