Where Mono County families are placed, and what to check
Because there is no nursing home in Mono County, a bedsore claim for a Mono family involves a facility in another county. The most common destination is Bishop, in Inyo County, where the nearest skilled nursing beds are. Staffing is what determines whether a bedridden resident gets turned every two hours. You can check those homes in our Inyo County nursing home directory, and see our Inyo County bedsore page for the local detail.
Left untreated, a stage 4 ulcer can reach the bone and become a fatal infection. For the four stages and the California statutes, see our California bedsore page.

Mono County has no nursing home. Can I still bring a claim?
Yes. Your claim is against the facility where your loved one was actually placed and harmed, which for a Mono County family is usually a home in Inyo County or elsewhere. We handle cases throughout California, so the location of the facility is not a barrier.
Where do Mono County residents go for skilled nursing care?
Most often to Bishop, in neighboring Inyo County, where the nearest skilled nursing beds are, or to facilities farther away. You can review the Inyo County homes in our Inyo County nursing home directory.
What should I do first if my parent has a stage 4 bedsore?
Photograph the wound, request the complete chart in writing, and get an independent medical evaluation. Then talk to a lawyer before accepting the facility's explanation, because the version families are given rarely matches the records.
