LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- An employee at a Pasadena, Calif., mental health facility filed a whistle-blower lawsuit alleging the hospital provided "minimal, substandard care" to patients.
The suit was filed last year in U.S. District Court and sealed but newly made public.
It is the most recent in a string of complaints concerning care at Aurora Las Encinas Hospital, a psychiatric facility treating patients seeking help for alcoholism and drug problems, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday.
One of the allegations mentioned in the suit and in government investigations include the deaths of two patients being treated for substance abuse in which case workers falsified logs to show they had been checked every 15 minutes, government reports said.
