Almost half of all nursing homes in California don’t meet federal standards for preventing surgical infections or bedsores, including MRSA, C. Dificile, and Sepsis says Los Angeles Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Attorney Steven Peck.

The federal government has set benchmarks for nursing homes in preventing bedsores, surgical infections, and using patient restraints. Medicare officials say homes that made the list aren’t necessarily bad, they just do not adhere to the Federal Regulations. .

Elder Abuse Lawyer Peck says “If you’re gonna be putting your father, your mother, or your spouse into a nursing home, you’d better get out there and take a look yourself, and get a feeling for the quality of care.”

Peck says the overall level of care in California nursing homes is poor. He says “part of the problem is the state’s inspection system is one of the weakest in the nation.”
