With the use of key terms via Boolean search, 30 articles were obtained which were determined to be germane to research objectives. The review was conducted and structured based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.Results: Residents with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease are at greater risk of abuse. The growing population could increase this problem exponentially. The most common facilitators were the introduction of policies/programs in the facility, education, and working conditions. The most cited barriers were poor training, lack of research, and working conditions in the long-term care setting.Conclusion: The examples given would be useful in minimizing the potential for abuse in the long-term care setting. Leadership can take an active role in the prevention of abuse of the elderly through their actions, education of employees, and changes in the work environment.Keywords: exploitation, nursing facility, skilled nursing, nursing homeMileski MLee KBourquard CCavazos BDusek KKimbrough KSweeney LMcClay RDove Medical Pressarticleexploitationnursing facilityskilled nursingnursing homeGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 14, Pp 1797-1815 (2019)
