California Nursing Home Settles Class Action Suit for $2 Million
Warren Richardson is a former resident of Anaheim Healthcare Center, a nursing home facility in California owned by Sun Mar. During his residency, Mr. Richardson developed pressure sores due to alleged understaffing. His plight prompted a lawsuit that turned into a class-action lawsuit that Sun Mar recently settled for $2 million.
Current and former residents of Sun Mar's 17 skilled nursing homes will share the settlement proceeds involving the lawsuit that alleged the company's facilities were understaffed and undertrained and that corporate officers and managers at the facilities kept budgets so low that the correct staffing and training could not be provided.
