We exist because patients can't always speak for themselves.
CareWatch California is an independent, nonpartisan watchdog organization dedicated to exposing abuse, neglect, and misconduct in California's healthcare facilities — and holding the people responsible accountable.
Our mission in three words: expose, demand, protect.
Expose
We investigate complaints from patients, families, and healthcare workers. We document patterns of abuse and publish our findings publicly.
Demand
We file formal complaints with state regulators, push for investigations, and work with legislators to strengthen oversight laws.
Protect
We protect whistleblowers, support survivors, and make sure that speaking up never comes at a cost to those who do it.
Know something? You're protected.
California law protects healthcare employees who report abuse or regulatory violations. If you've witnessed misconduct at your facility, you can report it to us confidentially — and we'll help you understand your rights.
