Legal Question in Elder Law in California

You do not give any details as to how it was degrading, but unless their was any threat of physical harm it would not be an assault nor discrimination if it was not done because of a banned bias.

Discrimination, harassment or retaliation is only defined as actually �illegal� under the ADA [disability], Civil Rights [age, race, sex, ethnic, religion, pregnancy, etc], FMLA [medical leave], Whistle-blower, or similar statutes, and only when committed in the course of doing business or in employment. Unfair or degrading doesn't count. Now if the conduct was illegal under the above definitions, feel free to contact me for the legal help you�ll need.
