This study aimed to determine the relationship between elderly abuse and social competence. The study was applied to a group of elderly people residing in institutions for the elderly in Giza and Cairo governorates, meeting the conditions of the study. The participants were 279 elderly people. The statistical results showed that there was no statistically significant inverse relationship between the elderly's perception of abuse and their social competence. The findings also suggested potential indicators for the role of the social worker who works with elderly cases to improve their social competence.
