At a minimum you should call ADULT PROTECTIVE SERVICES to report this abuse.

I think Mr. Selik gives some great advice.

I would then say that you might consider filing for conservatorship so as to obtain the power to care for your mother in this time of need.

Good luck!

You need to not waste another minute on the internet and go see a lawyer in person. You are NOT going to get adequate help here, or from APS.

As Mr. McCormick has said, there is no time to waste. You need to make an appointment with an elder law attorney immediately. The situation you have described involves serious elder abuse. I disagree that Adult Proctective services will not help you. Because your mother has been physically abused by her granddaughter, you should also contact Adult Protective Services. Here is a link to that agency: http://www.stanworks.com/content.php?nav=adult-services/adult-protective-services.htm.

I hope this helps. Good luck.
