衛福部保護司長郭彩榕表示,長者受暴樣態多,且容易出現多種暴力形式交織的情況,主因多與家庭互動、家內資源分配等家庭動力議題有關,如何適時引進資源、協助家庭調整互動關係,是防止家暴關鍵。
衛福部透過系統介接,協助社工掌握老人及其家庭使用長照、心理衛生等服務的情形,並依家庭需求協助排除使用服務障礙,另針對加害人合併精神疾病的案件,連結心衛社工及精神照護體系加強社區訪視,並強化相對人出入監所的處遇銜接機制,還有與地方政府合作防止家暴。
台中市社會局長廖靜芝表示,社會局有防暴規劃師,由里鄰長、志工、社區管委會擔任,防暴規劃師及民間的關懷訪視員會定期關懷長輩,且向長輩們宣傳,若遭不當對待要通報,不要隱忍。

對於老人保護通報數逐年增加,郭彩榕表示,衛福部及地方政府近年來積極宣導反暴力意識,並推廣113諮詢服務、強化責任通報機制,使民眾對於老人保護案件的敏感度提高。
