SAN DIEGO – The operator of a Bay Terraces independent living facility pleaded guilty earlier this week to abuse of a dependent adult for leaving at least one disabled resident in squalid conditions that led to his hospitalization, the San Diego City Attorney’s Office announced Friday.
Though he was banned by state officials from operating group-living facilities for senior citizens and dependent adults because of “multiple violations” at his prior San Diego County care facilities, the City Attorney’s Office says he operated the Bay Terraces facility, as well as others in the county.
“Those who reside in independent living facilities are often just one step away from homelessness, and are unwilling to risk the little protection they have by complaining,” City Attorney Mara W. Elliott said. “They deserve to be treated with dignity, compassion and respect — not like yesterday’s garbage.”
