Approximately 205,000 individuals live within Fontana city limits out of the more than 2.1 million residents of San Bernardino County, where one of every eleven citizens is sixty-five years or older. Many elder home residents choose to stay in the area in their senior years because of the proximity to amenities and affordable housing. The number of aging residents is expected to grow in the years ahead as many more individuals of the baby boomer generation retire.

Many nursing home abuse cases reveal that residents suffer severe injury or death due to a lack of assistance or improper care. In many situations, the resident becomes dehydrated or malnourished because they do not receive assistive support when they no longer having the capacity to feed themselves. Other times, the injury is the result of medical staff administering the wrong drug or failing to provide the resident with much-needed medical attention.
Residents who use wheelchairs or are bed-ridden can quickly develop life-threatening and painful bedsores. A failure of the nursing staff to reposition a mobility-challenged resident or bathing them routinely can cause a decline in their health due to open wounds that appear on the resident's skin.
Family members are often horrified when they learn that the decline of their loved one's health could have been prevented had appropriate care been given. Often, severe medical conditions go undiagnosed because the staff is not adequately trained, or the facility is understaffed and not able to accommodate the health and hygiene needs of its residents.
