About this item

This title is written specifically with the non-attorney reader in mind, and helps the reader understand the regulatory frameworks in place to prevent harm to elders, as well as the litigation process to remedy harm that is caused. Including chapters on governmental protections, risks associated with traffic, hospital stays, nursing homes, medications and abuse, the reader will find guidance on what resources may be available to prevent - or at least mitigate - harms caused to their aged or infirm loved ones.
