The Fallbrook Hospital District Skilled Nursing Facility was fined $90,000 by the California Department of Health in a case involving the fall and subsequent death of a resident. The citation was the most severe of its kind arising from inadequate care leading to the death of the resident. Although the resident was known to have a high risk for falling, the Fallbrook nursing home failed to take adequate measures to prevent the fall. The resident fell, broke his leg, and died four days later as a result of complications from the surgery to repair his leg.
