Federal officials pulled veterans from a Van Nuys (Calif.) assisted living home after finding that the facility had reported a social worker visiting a veteran who had been dead for four days, according to an article on the Military.com website.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs investigation also found other issues at the California Villa home. A bedbug infestation and other problems were alleged.
The California Department of Social Services had sought to revoke California Villa's license in 2017.
The state agency found that staff did not adequately clean feces from the furniture.
