California nursing facilities have a special duty to provide every older adult with acceptable standards of care as regulated and enforced by state and federal nursing industry regulatory agencies. These enforceable laws are designed to provide the most vulnerable members of society quality care in a safe environment.

There is been a significant rise in the aging population throughout Northern California in recent decades. Nearly 220,000 residents live within the boundaries of Redding and Tehama counties, including in both Red Bluff and Redding, where approximately 30,000 are seniors 65 years and older. Many more elders than ever before have reached the retirement years and decided to stay in the beautiful environment of Central Valley with access to Shasta Lake and the Shasta-Trinity National Forest.
The increasing numbers of the aging population have placed a burden on nursing facilities that are already overcrowded and understaffed. As a result, many more cases involving neglect and abuse have been identified by state and federal agencies performing unannounced inspections and scheduled surveys of nursing facilities throughout California.
Our Central Valley elder abuse law firm recognizes that placing a loved one in a nursing facility is often one of life’s most undesirable decisions. Even though neglect and abuse of senior citizens can occur even in the best nursing facilities, many nursing centers have ongoing patterns of accident hazards, safety concerns, and signs of the deteriorating health of their residents.
Our Redding nursing center neglect attorneys have served as legal advocates for nursing home residents statewide. To offer assistance to families, we continuously compiled lists of nursing facilities with serious problems, including opened investigations, filed complaints, health hazards, and safety concerns. We gather this information through numerous national databases, including Medicare.gov.
The compiled list below is posted by our California elder abuse attorneys detailing Redding California area facilities currently maintaining below standard ratings as compared to other homes throughout the United States. Also, our network of attorneys has posted our primary concerns involving cases of abuse, neglect, and mistreatment. In some of these cases, the resident has suffered serious harm, injury, or death caused by the negligent or abusive action of nursing staff or other residents in the facility.
Our attorneys have compiled data from settlements and jury verdicts across California to give you an idea as to how cases are valued. Our law firm posts the CMS ranking of government-run facilities, for-profit homes, and private non-profits around Southern California below:

Many families have a loving spouse, grandparent, or parent in a long-term care facility who is placed there to ensure they received the highest level of care. Often, the nursing facility provides every necessary resource, medical attention, and support. Unfortunately, when the resident is abused, ignored, or neglected, the consequences are devastating.
In many incidences, family members or friends are unaware that their loved one is suffering at the hands of their caregivers because the signs or indicators of mistreatment are not visible. Our California elder abuse network of attorneys has recognized ongoing patterns of abuse and neglect in the cases we file for financial compensation. The most common cases involve:
Many nursing home residents in the state of California are the victims of pinching, hitting, arm-twisting, physical assault , and sexual abuse. The most common type of physical abuse often involves a failure to provide the most basic human care. Some nursing residents are left alone for hours at a time, unable to move without the assistance of their essential needs, including toileting, bathing, drinking, eating, or dressing.
Many of the issues listed above can be severe or fatal if immediate action is not taken by competent staff or legal intervention by a nursing home abuse lawyer. Pressure ulcers are often thought of as nothing more than a mild inconvenience. However, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services state that all pressure ulcers are preventable if every staff member follows state and federal regulations.
Severe infections can degrade quickly to bloodstream infection (septicemia) or bone infection (osteomyelitis) without immediate intervention. These deadly infections can claim the life of the victim within days.
