3787 Although a nursing home admitting a patient may owe relatives of the patient no duty to provide information regarding the operation of the facility, if it does provide information, it has a duty to do so accurately; allegations that a nursing home did not properly protect an Alzheimer's patient from attack by a non-Alzheimer's patient, coupled with declarations by staff doctors at the home that the attacker had been showing signs of hostility and threatening to kill anyone who got in her way, raised questions of fact about whether the nursing home's conduct rose to the level of recklessness required for liability under the Elder Abuse Act.CitationINTRIERI v SUPERIOR COURT (Fraud Duty) 117 CA4 72 [See: W&IC 15600 etseq; CivC 1710; Moon v Guardian 95 CA4 1004, T/AT 2/02; Ess v Eskaton 97 CA4 120, T/AT 5/03; Spates v Dameron Hosp 114 CA4 208, T/AT 1/04; Delaney v Baker 20 C4 23, T/AT 4/99; Cicone v URS 183 CA3 194]
