Where Mono County families are placed, and what to check
A fall that breaks a hip is most likely where supervision is thin. Because there is no nursing home in Mono County, a fall claim for a Mono family involves a facility in another county, most often one of the two homes in Bishop, in Inyo County. Where a home's staffing runs thin, high-risk residents are left to try to move on their own. You can check those homes in our Inyo County nursing home directory and see our Inyo County fall detail.
A serious fall is also frequently the first visible sign of broader neglect. For how fall cases are built and what California law requires, see our California nursing home fall page.
How Mono County families can respond
Ask the facility, in writing, for the complete chart: the fall risk assessment, the care plan, incident reports, and the call-light and alarm logs. Photograph any injuries, date them, and get an independent medical evaluation. File a complaint with the California Department of Public Health through Cal Health Find, or contact the Mono County Long-Term Care Ombudsman (Inyo and Mono program) at (760) 872-4128, or the state crisis line at (800) 231-4024 after hours. In an emergency, contact Mono County Adult Protective Services or call 911. Our full guide is here: how to report nursing home abuse in California.

Frequently asked questions
Mono County has no nursing home. Can I still bring a fall claim?
Yes. Your claim is against the facility where your loved one was actually placed and fell, 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.
Can I sue the facility for my parent's fall?
Yes. If a resident fell because the facility failed to assess their fall risk, follow the care plan, or provide adequate supervision, it can be liable under California's Elder Abuse Act, which adds attorney's fees and enhanced damages where the neglect was reckless.
What should I do first after a serious fall?
Request the complete chart in writing, photograph the injuries, and get an independent medical evaluation. Then talk to a lawyer before accepting the facility's explanation, because incident reports get revised and staffing sheets get harder to find over time.
How many nursing homes are in Mono County?
