Senior abuse is an all-too-common problem across California. Approximately 5% of seniors live in some type of nursing home or assisted living facility but one-quarter need nursing home care at some point. Nearly 25% of residents in nursing homes experience some type of abuse or neglect at some point.
California PC 368 makes elder abuse a serious crime and affords victims the right to damages in a successful claim against the at-fault parties. If you suspect abuse, you can report it to Adult Protective Services then contact an experienced nursing home abuse attorney in Poway to seek justice and compensation for your loved one's suffering.
Seniors and their family members can choose from several types of licensed, regulated forms of care that offer varying levels of medical and non-medical care.
Seniors make up 16% of the Poway population. There are over 6,800 seniors in the city served by 3 nursing homes and 21 assisted living and senior care facilities.

The first step is to report the abuse to the appropriate authorities. Call 911 if the situation is life-threatening. Otherwise, it can be reported to the police and appropriate agencies. For abuse in the community or a hospital, call Adult Protective Services at 1-833-401-0832. For abuse in a nursing home or long-term care facility, contact your local long-term care ombudsman or call 1-888-452-8609.Â
The next step is contacting a California elder neglect lawyer to help you safeguard your loved one’s rights, investigate the abuse, and hold the facility accountable.
There is no way to determine the exact value of an elder abuse or personal injury case, especially early in your case. However, an experienced attorney can give you an estimated range based on their experience with similar cases.
There are many factors that may influence the value of your case, such as:
Some damages are easy to calculate, such as lost wages and medical bills. Calculating the value of diminished earnings for the rest of your life or future medical needs, however, may require the help of experts. Non-economic damages like pain and suffering have no intrinsic financial value. These damages are challenging to calculate.Â
If your case goes before a jury, you may potentially be able to recover more than you could through a settlement. However, this introduces a new element of risk: the jury. The circumstances of your accident and even how sympathetic you or the defendant are can influence the outcome.
During your consultation and throughout your case, we will help you understand how these factors influence your case. We will also work tirelessly to document the value of all your damages and pursue maximum compensation on your behalf.
