Were the residents made to sign away their Social Security checks and have MediCal pay the max amount allowed for this marginal care?
The former owners of an assisted living facility in Pacific Grove have agreed to pay $145,000 in civil penalties and costs for allegedly failing to adequately background check employees as well as not providing enough staff to care for residents, Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine Pacioni announced on Sept. 15.
New owners purchased the assisted living business in 2023 and received new licensing. They are currently working toward purchasing the land and buildings as well, according to Matthew Delbruegge, owner of Del Monte Care. The new name of the facility is Del Monte Village.
