California Elder Abuse Lawyer

Elder Emotional Abuse

Emotional and psychological abuse can cause a patient or resident in a nursing home or assisted living facility lasting emotional distress and a great deal of pain and suffering. An elderly person or the family of an elderly person seeks care or residency at a nursing home in order to receive the level of care, attention and treatment that they need and cannot provide for themselves. Consequently, all nursing home abuse or negligence in the form of emotional abuse should not be tolerated.
