Elder Abuse and Abuse of a Dependent Adult
Elder abuse and/or dependent adult abuse is defined as physical abuse or neglect, financial abuse, abandonment, isolation or abduction of someone who is 65 years or older, or an adult between 18 and 64 who cannot independently provide for their own care or well being due to mental or physical disabilities. If a caregiver refuses aid in a way that deprives the elder or dependent adult of basic services, and as a result causes physical or mental suffering, then that caregiver may be liable for abuse.
If you are 65 years or older, or are an adult between the ages of 18 and 64 who is unable to provide basic self-care due to disability, then you can ask for an elder or dependent adult abuse restraining order. The court will grant a restraining order if you are the victim of physical or financial abuse, neglect or abandonment, physical or mental harm, or deprivation from basic services needed to avoid physical, mental, or emotional suffering. If your relationship with your caregiver qualifies you for a domestic violence restraining order, you may need to meet with a lawyer to determine which restraining order is most appropriate.
If you do not qualify for an Elder Abuse or Dependent Adult Abuse restraining order, you may still qualify for a domestic violence restraining order, a civil harassment restraining order, or a workplace violence restraining order.
