History

Historical Context

Congress passed the 1987 Nursing Home Reform Act, allocating $5.5 billion for inspections of roughly 23,000 U.S. facilities by 1990, while California’s 1990 Public Employees’ Long-Term Care Act broadened state-run senior care. These federal and state reforms created mandatory oversight registries that now compel the LAPD, Adult Protective Services and investigators to act swiftly in Linda Perhacs’ disappearance.
