California Group Home Owner Sued After Resident Dies While In Her Care
Pensri Sophar Dalton, owner of the group home Sophar's Room and Board, faces a lawsuit in the death of one of her residents.
On February 12, seventy-one year old Eucevio Hernandez Vallez died after he fell into an unfenced swimming pool at Sophar's Room and Board. His body was not found until the next day. Vallez suffered from dementia, severe alcoholism, and trouble walking. He was supposed to be supervised to limit his access to alcohol.
Vallez's family filed the lawsuit that alleges "Sophar's multiple failures, including transferring Mr. Vallez to an inappropriate facility without his family's knowledge...failure to ensure that he did not receive or consume alcohol and failure to provide appropriate supervision, caused Mr. Vallez to access the backyard intoxicated and unsupervised".
