A:
Terribly sorry to hear your mother was treated this way, Elder Abuse is as bad as Child Abuse, because Elders often cannot protect themselves. You need to contact a local attorney that deals in Elder Abuse right away, he can assist you to obtain the relief you need for your mother. You should also know that acts that may not constitute harassment or discrimination CAN constitute Elder Abuse in the right (or wrong) circumstances. Mental Abuse of Elders is a big problem particularly when dealing with LLs that are bullys.
