  • My friend doesn't take care of her mother. Is this elder abuse?

    Thank you for your question. Your question is more complex to answer. Technically, since mom is receiving care from the granddaughter, abuse is not really happening. Your friend's position is one of moral grounds, as one might argue that she should care for her mother. However, most state laws do not stipulate who should provide care; rather, they stipulate that vulnerable persons should receive care. Now, if the granddaughter is not providing adequate care, and no one is stepping in to help, then yes, it would be considered elder abuse under the neglect of a vulnerable person. I always recommend airing on the side of caution; if you think the individual is not getting the adequate care they need, you can always file a report with your state's adult protective services agency and let them investigate if the case meets the burden of investigation. However, based on what you have shared in your question, technically, abuse is not going on because the vulnerable person is getting care. I hope this answers your question. READ MORE
