Financial Penalties and Violations

The state of California and the federal government are legally responsible for monitoring each nursing home and impose monetary fines and deny payments through Medicare if serious violations have been identified. These penalties are typically imposed when the violation is severe and harmed or could have harmed a resident.

Medicare has cited this facility for abuse. Medicare says that “every nursing home resident deserves to retain their basic human dignity and be treated with respect at all times. Abuse and neglect are never acceptable.” Nursing homes “cited for abuse are required to take steps to protect their residents.”

This nursing facility self-reported seventeen serious problems over the last thirty-six months that all resulted in violation citations. Additional information concerning the facility can be reviewed on the comprehensive California Department of Social Services Adult Protective Services Website.

Pomona California Nursing Home Safety Concerns

One Star Rating

To be fully informed on the level of care nursing homes provide, families routinely research Medicare.gov and the California Department of Public Health website database systems for a complete list of deficiencies, violations, and citations.

According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including one out of five stars concerning health inspections, one out of five stars for staffing issues, and four out of five stars for quality measures.

  • Failure to Protect Every Resident from All Forms of Abuse Including Physical and Sexual Assault, Physical Punishment, and Neglect by Anybody – citation #F600 date June 17, 2019
  • The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to ensure [one resident] had a right to be free from physical abuse inflicted by a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA).” On February 13, 2019, at 3:38 AM, the CNA slapped the resident “on the face and the back and pushed her. As a result, [the resident] felt a change in her.”

    A review of the resident’s MDS (Minimum Data Set) Assessment indicates that the resident “was able to make her needs known, had the ability to understand others, and was able to walk and eat without assistance.” A Nursing Note indicated that the resident “reported to staff that a male resident had hit her.” The resident reported to the Assistant Program Manager that the CNA “hit her on the shoulder for no reason.” The Program Manager conducted the investigation and suspended the CNA immediately.

  • Failure to Respond Appropriately to All Alleged Violations – citation #F610 date November 28, 2018
  • The facility “failed to remove a potential threat and implement their Abuse Protection Policy for [one resident], who resided in the East Unit. The resident reported to the facility that a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) had hit him. The facility had been notified of the abuse allegation but [the CNA] continued to work in the East Unit and have access to [the resident]. This deficient practice had the potential to result in physical abuse for [the resident].”

    The state investigators conducted an investigation in an unannounced visit to the facility concerning “an allegation of physical abuse that was reported to the Department.” The report indicates that the resident “accused two agent staff of pushing and hitting him on February 18, 2018, at around 11:30 PM.” The resident stated that “one of the staff was a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA).”

    A review of the Staff Assignment Sheet indicated that the CNA was working in East Unit but was “moved to work the West Unit.”

Client Reviews

★★★★★
Jonathan did a great job helping my family navigate through a lengthy lawsuit involving my grandmother's death in a nursing home. Through every step of the case, Jonathan kept my family informed of the progression of the case. Although our case eventually settled at a mediation, I really was impressed at how well prepared Jonathan was to take the case to trial. Lisa

After I read Jonathan’s Nursing Home Blog, I decided to hire him to look into my wife’s treatment at a local nursing home. Jonathan did a great job explaining the process and the laws that apply to nursing homes. I immediately felt at ease and was glad to have him on my side. Though the lawsuit process was at times frustrating, Jonathan reassured me, particularly at my deposition. I really felt like Jonathan cared about my wife’s best interests, and I think that came across to the lawyers for the nursing home. Eric
