Sexual abuse reports at Sunland Post Acute

Cal Health Find lists 9 intakes for Sunland Post Acute from 2023 through October 30, 2026 that included an allegation CDPH classified as sexual abuse (2 from complaints and 7 reported by the facility itself). CDPH substantiated a sexual abuse allegation in 1 of them. Federal rules require a nursing home to report an abuse allegation to the state within two hours, so a facility-reported incident means staff raised the allegation, not that it was proven. “Unsubstantiated” means CDPH did not find enough evidence; it does not mean nothing happened.

Warning signs include bruising or bleeding in the genital area or inner thighs, a new genital infection, torn or stained underclothing, and a resident who suddenly fears a particular staff member or resists being bathed or changed. If you suspect sexual abuse, call 911 or local police first, ask that the resident not be bathed before a medical exam, and then report it to CDPH and the long-term care ombudsman.

Staffing at Sunland Post Acute

Payroll records Sunland Post Acute filed with the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for April through June 2026 show an average of 4.35 nursing hours per resident per day, counting registered nurses (RNs), licensed vocational nurses and nurse aides. The California average CMS published for the same period is 4.54, and the Los Angeles County median is 4.32. RN time averaged 0.40 hours per resident per day (California average 0.68). Staffing averaged 3.91 hours on weekends and 4.53 on weekdays.

CMS reports nursing staff turnover of 49.3% at this facility (California average 36.6%) and RN turnover of 63.6% (California average 37.8%).

California requires most skilled nursing facilities to provide at least 3.5 direct care hours per patient day (Health and Safety Code section 1276.65). Counting the RN, LVN and nurse aide hours in the same payroll data, Sunland Post Acute was below 3.5 on 0 of 91 days. This is our calculation from CMS data, not a CDPH finding: CDPH counts some staff differently (for example psychiatric technicians in special treatment programs) and can grant waivers.

What this record means for your family

California uses classes for state citations. Under Health and Safety Code section 1424 ↗, a Class AA citation is a Class A violation that CDPH determined was a direct proximate cause of a resident’s death. A Class A citation means CDPH found an imminent danger, or a substantial probability, that death or serious physical harm would result. Class B covers violations with a direct or immediate relationship to residents’ health, safety or security.

Federal deficiencies carry a letter from A to L. G, H and I mean inspectors found actual harm to residents; J, K and L mean immediate jeopardy, the most serious level. F600 is the federal rule that residents be free from abuse and neglect; F609 and F610 cover reporting and investigating allegations; F689 covers accidents and supervision; F686 covers pressure injuries.

Warning signs worth asking about: unexplained bruises or fractures, new bed sores, sudden weight loss or dehydration, a resident who becomes fearful or withdrawn around certain staff, and calls that go unanswered.
