TWO CALIFORNIA BAY AREA NURSING HOME FACILITIES CHALLENGED AFTER POISONING DEATHS
When it comes to patient safety, senior care facilities must take extra precautions when it comes to everyday items that can quickly become hazardous to the elderly. Two Bay Area long-term care facilities are under scrutiny and one is at risk of losing their license.

“This incident has been a tragedy," said Atria Senior Living. "It is in no way indicative of the quality care our staff provide each and every day. We remain deeply saddened by the deaths of our residents, and our hearts are with their families and loved ones."
