Los Angeles County has the most nursing homes located in the State of California.  As a result thereof, nursing home abuse and neglect is more prevelant in the City and County of Los Angeles than anywhere else in the State of California.

It is imperative that you inspect the nursing home and interview the nursing home staff before you sign an admission contract.  Do not be afraid to ask the staff as many questions that you feel are warranted.

Most nursing home admission agreements also include a nursing home arbitration agreement which could seriously affect your constitutional right to a jury trial should the nursing home abuse or neglect the elder resident or a dependent adult.
