Document what you see, request the chart, and call (888) 999-0169 or send us a message for a free review. Yuba County has one skilled nursing facility, the home in Marysville, and it carries a five-star overall rating and a four-star state health inspection rating. That is genuinely good news for families choosing a home. But neglect happens to individuals, not to averages, and even a highly rated home can fail one resident on one shift. If your family saw the warning signs, a strong rating is not a reason to doubt what you saw.
If your loved one was neglected in a Marysville nursing home, you may have a claim under California's Elder Abuse Act. Call (888) 999-0169 for a free, confidential consultation. Because we once defended facilities like this one, we know where the answers are, and you pay nothing unless we win.

Frequently asked questions
If the Yuba County home rates well, why would I need a lawyer?
Because a rating is an average and neglect is individual. Any home can fail one resident on one shift, and the home in Marysville reports 3.90 nursing hours per resident per day, below the state's 4.52. If your loved one was harmed, the Elder Abuse Act protects them regardless of the facility's stars.
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.
