State statutes outline exactly what mistreatment means for elders and dependent adults
I’ve seen news reports about cases of elder abuse. I know someone who may be a victim. Can you explain what constitutes an elder abuse case?Almost 40 years ago, the California legislature enacted the Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act to protect the elderly and dependent adults from abuse, neglect, and abandonment by caretakers, nursing facilities, and other custodial care providers.
One of the main purposes of the law was to enact reporting requirements for health practitioners, care custodians, clergy members, and employees of county adult protective services and local law enforcement agencies of known or suspected cases of abuse of elders and dependent adults, and to encourage community members to do so ).
Neglect can refer to several things, such as failure to assist with personal hygiene or to provide medical care for physical and mental health and safety hazards. Additionally, neglect can be defined as the failure to prevent malnutrition, dehydration and other forms of neglect outlined in section 15610.57.
