California Developmental Center Docked Millions

California's largest board-and-care center for the developmentally disabled will surrender more than $1 million a month in federal funding for failing to protect patients from abuse and provide quality medical care, state officials announced this week.
In December, state regulators cited the Sonoma Developmental Center for numerous violations that put patients with cerebral palsy and intellectual disabilities at risk of serious injury and death. Regulators have threatened to close a major portion of the century-old institution, home to more than 500 patients.
