California Nursing Homes Are Becoming De Facto Mental Health Centers | LAist

We acquired a massive federal dataset to analyze California s nearly 1,200 skilled nursing facilities and found startling rates of patients with serious mental illness

California might be violating the Americans with Disabilities Act

We mapped nursing homes across the state based on percentage of residents diagnosed with a serious mental illness

At the same time, we found that the state lacks a full accounting of nursing home residents with serious mental illness

Few nursing homes are certified as special treatment programs a designation indicating they have the skills and training to care for people with serious mental illness

Citations fall short effectively acting as slaps on the wrist for serious violations

Questions remain about whether Gov. Newsom s mental health plan will address the needs for suitable housing and services
