Executive Summary, Continued Project Limitations Although APS offers a myriad of possible interventions for the wide variety of abuse situations faced daily, it was beyond the scope of this project to address: • the results of the investigations; • the case management services offered to alleviate the abuse situations; or • the end result of the APS intervention for each of the reports received. Sample interventions are provided in the Appendix on page 50. Project Follow-up The CWDA Protective Services Operations Committee recommends following up this project with: • further research; • the development of an all-county data collection system; • more training for county APS staff and multi-disciplinary team members; • increased funding; and • support for federal action to combat elder and dependent adult abuse. 4
