How do I know if a nursing home has been cited for violations?

In California, nursing home abuse or neglect violations can be reported to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). The CDPH has an online database which contains information about reported violations and citations. You can use this database to search for violations which have been reported at a specific nursing home. You can search the database by entering the name of the nursing home, the county in which the nursing home is located, or by the name of the nursing home’s owner. This will show you all of the reported violations and citations which have been issued to the nursing home. Each violation or citation will also include details about the type of violation and when it was reported. The CDPH also provides a toll-free telephone service that enables you to ask questions about nursing home violations and to file complaints about nursing home abuse or neglect. The telephone service can provide you with further information about the reported violations and citations. In addition to the CDPH database and telephone service, local newspapers and websites may also contain information about reported nursing home violations and citations. If you are concerned about the quality of care at a nursing home, it is important to do the research and to follow up on your concerns.
