Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE) are licensed by the California Department of Social Services and must comply with a comprehensive list of regulations.
A Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE) can be a wonderful home for elderly individuals who require assistance with activities of daily living, such assistance with meals, grooming, dressing, and personal hygiene, but do not have the need for skilled nursing care. Unfortunately, RCFEs are not immune to instances of elder abuse and neglect.
RCFEs are licensed by the California Department of Social Services and must comply with a comprehensive list of regulations. Each year, RCFEs who fail to meet their regulatory obligations are responsible for thousands of injuries and wrongful deaths of elderly residents. These facilities are held accountable through millions of dollars of mandatory compensation paid to affected families.
RCFE residents may be unable to communicate their abuse or neglect due to a mental or physical condition or may be unwilling to do so for fear of additional mistreatment.
If you suspect you or your loved one is the victim of mental, physical, financial abuse or neglect at an RCFE, contact Moran Law immediately to consult with a qualified California residential care facility abuse lawyer. We will help protect you or your loved one’s health and safety and explore all legal options to satisfy your case.
