Notarizing at Nursing Homes? Don’t Forget the Ombudsman! Here’s What You Need to Know in California 🏥✍️

If you have a loved one in a skilled nursing facility here in Sacramento or nearby, and you’re thinking, “We need to get their Advance Health Care Directive notarized ASAP!” — hold on just a second…

Did you know that California law requires a state-assigned ombudsman or patient advocate to witness the signing of this document in a nursing home? 😮

It’s a detail many families — and even some notaries — don’t realize until it’s too late and the appointment has to be rescheduled. But don’t worry — at Seal of Approval Mobile Notary & Apostille Services, we’ve got you covered! ✅
