Elder abuse law in California largely focuses on the “Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act (EADACPA).” Broadly speaking, abuse under an EADACPA claim in a civil action includes “physical abuse, neglect, fiduciary abuse, abandonment, isolation or other treatment with resulting physical harm or pain or mental suffering, or the deprivation by a care custodian of goods or services which are necessary to avoid physical harm or mental suffering.” |
