The World Senior Citizen's Day is celebrated on 21 August each year.

The day is intended to increase awareness of the factors and issues that affect older adults, such as health deterioration and elder abuse. It is also a day to recognize and acknowledge the contributions of older people to society.

Nursing home abuse is common throughout California. Oftentimes victims cannot recall the abuse they suffered, and ultimately it depends on a witness coming forward to an authority figure in a nursing home and reporting the elder abuse.

Elderly citizens need to know they have the protection of the law if they suffer physical, emotional, or financial abuse while residing in a nursing home in California.

Reporting nursing home abuse to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) can begin the process of seeking justice and compensation. Discovery is a crucial part of this process, allowing both parties to gather evidence and present it to a judge and jury.

Discovery is how you gather the evidence you will need to prove your case as plaintiff, or defeat the plaintiff's case as a defendant.

World Health Day (WHD) is celebrated on 7 April every year to mark the anniversary of the founding of WHO in 1948. Each year, a theme is selected to highlight a priority area of public health concern in the world.

The theme for World Health Day 2024 is 'My health, my right’.

This year’s theme was chosen to champion the right of everyone, everywhere to have access to quality health services, education, and information, as well as safe drinking water, clean air, good nutrition, quality housing, decent working and environmental conditions, and freedom from discrimination.

Today, the Assembly Committee on Human Services will hear Assembly Bill 1911, a bill that will improve the complaint investigation process in Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs) and, in turn, improve regulatory compliance and the delivery of care. AB 1911 is sponsored by CANHR.

Filing a complaint about an RCFE to the Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) is an important right for residents and for their representatives to exercise. Unfortunately, current law does not require CCLD to keep complainants informed about their investigations and imposes no deadlines to complete investigations, so complainants are often left in the dark. AB 1911 ensures that RCFE complaints will be taken seriously.
