Generally speaking, nursing home/elder abuse cases are generally filed by an "elder" (any person 65 years of age or older residing in California) or a "dependant adult" (any person between the ages of 18 and 64 years of age, residing in California), who has physical or mental limitations that restrict his/her ability to carry out normal activities or to protect his/her rights. Generally speaking, abuse of an elder or a dependant adult means either of the following: (a) physical abuse, neglect, financial abuse, abandonment, isolation, abduction, or other treatment which results in physical harm, pain or mental suffering or (b) the deprivation by a care custodian of goods or services that are necessary to avoid physical harm or mental suffering.

Families generally select nursing homes to care and protect elderly or dependent adults. Sometimes, these vulnerable individuals are neglected, mistreated or otherwise harmed.

Generally speaking, a person seeking recovery for nursing home/elder abuse needs to obtain expert witness testimony as well as perform a thorough investigation of the history of the nursing home in question.
