The distressing truth is that senior citizens residing in assisted living facilities face a heightened risk of neglect and abuse. This mistreatment can manifest in various forms, including physical, financial abuse, and particularly neglect. Often, those responsible for these heinous acts are individuals entrusted with the care and well-being of the elderly. Exploiting their authoritative position, these caretakers may presume their actions will remain undiscovered, leveraging their power to the detriment of vulnerable seniors.
It’s imperative not to allow the continued suffering of your loved ones from such neglect. At Perlmutter & Pourshalimi, our dedication lies in championing the rights of your loved ones, aiming to halt the cycle of abuse and secure the compensation they rightfully deserve for their anguish and hardships.

The unfortunate reality of assisted living facilities is that many of them are owned by public corporations with only one duty – to maximize shareholder return. What this means for the elderly is that their safety and care comes second. Many times, these nursing facilities are operated with skeleton crews.

As a result of placing profits over safety, the elders do not receive the lifesaving care they need. Some common forms of neglect include the following:
At Perlmutter & Pourshalimi, we are committed to advocating for victims of elder abuse throughout California who have been injured or harmed. The purpose of physical abuse is to inflict injuries or harm on a senior citizen and can include slapping, burning, fighting, kicking, punching, use of restraints, the use of excessive force, or unnecessary roughness.
When we work on a physical assisted living abuse claim, we conduct our own comprehensive investigation into the circumstances of your loved one’s abuse. We take a deep look into all of the patient’s medical records, assisted living facility staff levels, safety training practices, care standards, etc. The purpose of our investigation is to find any and all evidence of neglect, misconduct, and any abuse. We have the necessary experience to conduct in-depth investigation in order to build your loved one a strong case for their elder abuse.
As mentioned before, not all assisted living abuse looks the same. In fact, not all abuse is visible to the eye. Another common type of elder abuse that we see is emotional or psychological abuse. This kind of abuse is often an attempt for an abuser to try and control their victim through non-verbal or verbal infliction of mental anguish. We’ve found that some of the most common forms of emotional abuse involve:
