How to Take Action if You Suspect Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect in Solano County
Q: How Common Are Senior Care Facilities in Solano County?
A: While Solano County is primarily a rural county, it still is home to several nursing homes, assisted living centers, and residential care facilities—especially in Fairfield, Vallejo, Vacaville, and Suisun City. If you’re worried about possible abuse or neglect, Nursing Home Law Group is here to help investigate and advocate for your loved one.
Q: How Does California Law Define Elder Abuse and Neglect?A: Under California’s Elder Abuse Act, elder abuse includes physical abuse, neglect, abandonment, isolation, or other actions (or omissions) that result in harm, pain, or mental suffering. Signs can be obvious - like bruises or fractures - or more subtle, such as untreated bedsores, dehydration, weight loss, medication mistakes, or unexplained health decline. When you see these signs, it's critical to act.
Q: Can You Share Examples of Neglect You've Seen in Solano County?A: While respecting client privacy, Nursing Home Law Group has seen scenarios like:
- Residents left to fall due to unanswered call lights or ignored needs.
- Bed sores worsening into infected wounds because staff failed to treat them.
- Seniors arriving at the hospital severely dehydrated or with decubitus ulcers, despite staff claiming they were “fine.”
- Medication errors.
- Nursing facility staff failing to recognize emergency medical situations and obtaining appropriate help.
- Medical equipment issues - like dislodged feeding tubes - not promptly addressed, leading to serious complications.
A: If the situation is urgent - your loved one is in danger - call 911 right away or seek emergency medical care. Protecting their immediate safety always comes first.
