FACTS

I. Petitioner’s Case A. Lovell’s Testimony On July 2, 2014, Lovell was 76 years old and had been a resident of the Emeritus assisted living facility for about one year. She enjoyed living at Emeritus and had friends there. At the hearing on her petition for a protective order, Lovell testified she wanted a restraining order to keep her eldest daughter Anna, and Anna’s husband Eric, away from her, and that it was Lovell’s own idea to get a restraining order against them. Lovell felt uncomfortable about their visits, believing they did not come on her behalf and “had a different agenda.” Also, they showed up without notice and at inconvenient times, such as at dinner time. As a result, Lovell had told them she did not want to see them.
