As an elder law attorney in the affluent sections of Los Angeles, I encounter a lot of situations where loved ones, often adult children, are abusing Elder's financially. But in addition to financial elder abuse, physical abuse occurs, especially in nursing facilities.
Elder Abuse is both a crime and civil matter; You can do prison time, and/or be civilly liable for abusing elders.
If you or someone you love is being abused please see my Elder Abuse Resources post.
