I placed my meohtr in a Sunbridge nursing home facility owned by Sun Healthcare Group Inc. after caring for her 6 yrs at home. She was very happy to be near her peers and socialize. Nine monhts later the Office of Statewide Health Planning & Development condemned their HVAC system to patient rooms. Numerous families complained to management about this and broken blood pressure monitors and cuffs, thermometers, blood sugar montior and oxygen saturation monitors. Management sent mid level managers to meet with families and encourage us to move to another facility if we did not like their lack of staffing according to law, they were on a budget and couldn't even afford to advertise for nurses. We called in the Guardian Angels program with the Dept of Justice State Attorney General's office to help us. SUN attempted to bar families from visiting and the Guardian Angels program called the Dept of Health to call SUN and demand the visiting hours signs be removed within 24 hrs or risk a fine. It was simply illegal. Not long afterward they finally sent a board member to visit families and he directly fired the Administrator and DON. YET equipment did NOT get fixed or replaced, and I received a letter from the board member in writing that the lack of HVAC to patient rooms was historically not harmful. We watched patients die due to their negligence from Oct Dec 2003 to the degree the Dept of Health shut them down with only 37 patients remaining, refusing admittances for six months until the new license holder NEWPORT NURSING could properly train employees SUN left behind 12/1/2003 when they sold the facility. Unfortaunately, the broken equipment led to my meohtr's long suffering death after a stroke they caused she couldn't swallow. Their medical director and her personal physician, Dr L Scott Stoney, declared SUN killed her due to these errors. We could prove willful misconduct by the top management for not responding to this critical situation and violating a California State injunction from 2001 for killing patients with a broken HVAC system in Burlingame, Calif in 2000. This was blatant disregard for human life by the CEO of Sun Healthcare, a publicly traded corporation overseen by the SEC..I sued but apparently my attorney began working for Sun. He threatened me in mediation settlement for SUN's CEO, stating if I insisted on a jury trial he'd not only harm me but also make me out to be a crazy woman. I was coerced into signing off on only a fraud charge, since this attny had dropped wrongful death, elder abuse, injunctive relief, while I had surgery at UCLA for a pancreatic tumor. But I was smart enough to refuse to sign any confidentiality agreement. I sued Dan Liepold for malpractice, he died 2 weeks after learning I'd hired Eugen Andres to represent me. Think he was stressed? I won that case in 2008.Sun cheated the Calif taxpayers of out millions of dollars in fines, as the Deputy Attorney General, Claude Vanderwold, told my attorney and I that this facility of Sun's in Newport Beach was NOT considered in the fine they issued to SUN worth $2.5 Million in Sept 2005 for violating the injunction. Sun cheated me out of treble damages for being able to prove willful misconduct, or $3-$4 Million. Was this corporate corruption? Buzz Aldrin would say "this isn't rocket science".Deborah Calvert, Newport Beach, Californiaand former assistant to Buzz Aldrin
