A major California nursing home chain, Sweetwater Care, is paying $15 million after years of neglecting elderly patients due to severe understaffing. Investigations from 2021 to 2024 revealed over 14,000 incidents where residents suffered injuries, untreated medical issues, and basic care failures — including broken bones and severe pressure sores — while the company profited $31 million. The settlement, ordered by the Attorney General, includes $2.5 million to improve staffing and install a compliance monitor across 17 facilities, sending a clear message: accountability for vulnerable seniors is non-negotiable.
