We see and hear about horrific abuse targeting the elderly, ranging from scams to neglect. One local case came to light in 2005, and it was a stomach turning investigation. A 75-year old Kirkland woman died after living in filthy conditions. Her daughter was convicted of neglect.

Washington law provides substantial protection for vulnerable adults. These adults include--but are not limited to--the elderly. Vulnerable adults also include younger persons who have been injured in accidents or are born with challenges that prevent them from caring for themselves.
