Where Mono County families are placed, and what to check
Neglect surfaces as the specific injuries we handle: bedsores, falls and fractures, dehydration and malnutrition, sepsis and infections, medication errors, and wandering and elopement. Because there is no nursing home in Mono County, a neglect claim for a Mono family involves a facility in another county, most often one of the two homes in Bishop, in Inyo County. You can check those homes in our Inyo County nursing home directory and see our Inyo County neglect detail.

Frequently asked questions
Mono County has no nursing home. Can I still bring a neglect claim?
Yes. Your claim is against the facility where your loved one was actually placed and neglected, 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.
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.
