Everything on this site is here for information and education. It is not advice about your situation.
This is not legal advice
The pages here describe elder abuse and neglect in general terms. General information cannot account for the facts of any particular case, and it can be wrong for yours. Nothing on this site should be relied on as legal advice, and nothing here substitutes for talking with a qualified professional about your own circumstances.
No attorney-client relationship
Reading this site, sending a message through the contact form, or receiving a reply does not create an attorney-client relationship with the California Elder Abuse Prevention Foundation, with anyone associated with it, or with any law firm. Because no such relationship exists, information you send is not protected by attorney-client privilege — which is why the contact page asks you not to send confidential case details.
Not a lawyer referral service
The Foundation does not match people with attorneys, does not recommend one lawyer over another, and receives nothing for any referral. If you need a lawyer, a state or county bar association referral service is the usual place to start.
Not a government agency
The Foundation is an independent organization. It is not a government agency, not part of the State of California, and not affiliated with or endorsed by any state, county or federal body. It cannot investigate a report, take enforcement action, or open a case. Reports of abuse or neglect belong with Adult Protective Services, the Long-Term Care Ombudsman, or local law enforcement; the resources page explains which is which.
Links to other sites
Some pages link to websites the Foundation does not run. Those links are for convenience. The Foundation has no control over what other sites publish, and a link is not an endorsement of their content, their organization, or their services.
If something on this site is unclear or looks wrong, please say so through the contact page.
