Frequently asked questions
Does the Glenn County home's staffing mean it is neglecting residents?
Not by itself, but it is a meaningful warning sign. Below-average nursing hours mean there may not be enough caregivers to meet every resident's needs, which is the root of most neglect. If your loved one was harmed, the records for that resident tell the story.
What counts as nursing home neglect in California?
Neglect is the failure to provide the care a resident needs to stay safe and healthy: repositioning, feeding, hydration, hygiene, mobility, supervision, and medical care. Under California's Elder Abuse Act, serious neglect can carry attorney's fees and enhanced damages where it was reckless.
What should I do first if I suspect neglect?
Document what you see, request the chart in writing, and get an independent medical evaluation. Then talk to a lawyer, because the records that prove neglect are easiest to obtain early.
