Two Orange County nursing homes, Newport Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Newport Beach and Emeritus at Yorba Linda, both received Class “AA” citations, the most severe penalty under State law, from the State of California after investigations concluded that inadequate care at the nursing homes lead to a death at each facility, announced Dr. Ron Chapman, director of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and state public health officer.
Newport Nursing and Rehabilitation Center was fined $100,000 after a CDPH investigation found that the facility failed to provide adequate safety measures and supervision, leading to the patient’s death.
