When the Senior Center gets a report of suspected abuse, they refer it to the Department of Health Services for investigation. But, there’s not enough staff to deal with all these cases, especially since she says our population is getting older and economic resources are dwindling says California Elder Abuse Lawyer Steven Peck.

“Investigations don’t get completed as soon as we’d like them to or they would like them to and there aren’t enough services available to in essence fix the problem,” says Peck.

Elder Abuse and neglect don’t only happen in the home, though. They can occur in institutions like nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or by caregivers.

That’s when legal advocacy becomes necessary through the Peck Law Group Elder Law and Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect advocates.

But as the problems grow, concerning the care and neglect of Elders, those who see it everyday say more programs and educating seniors might be the only solution.
