If you suspect that some older adults are being subjected to abuse, it is important to take immediate action to ensure their safety and well-being. Here are some steps you can take:
1. Ensure immediate safety: If older adults are in immediate danger or require urgent medical attention, call emergency services or the local police.
2. Document your observations: Keep detailed notes of any incidents or observations that raise concerns. Include dates, times, locations, descriptions of the events, and any other relevant details.
3. Report the abuse: Contact the appropriate authorities to report the suspected abuse.
4. Seek professional advice: Consult with professionals who specialize in elder abuse, such as social workers, counselors, or healthcare providers. They can guide you on the appropriate steps to take and provide additional resources and support.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
