Abuse Invention/Prevention Model (AIM). AIM describes three core intersecting considerations in elder abuse: (1) the vulnerable older adult, (2) the trusted other, and (3) the context in which the abuse occurs. Tailored approaches that consider each of these can be developed to mitigate risks for elder abuse in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) era.
