Who Is Vasindas’ Around the Clock Care and Why Are They Being Sued for a Data Breach?

Vasindas’ Around the Clock Care, doing business as Around The Clock Home Care, has run in-home senior care out of Bakersfield for about 30 years. That’s exactly the kind of business that ends up holding a goldmine of sensitive data — Social Security numbers, health insurance details, medical records — for clients who are often elderly and rarely checking their credit reports. A roughly 50-person home care company usually isn’t running the same security budget as a hospital system storing that same information.

What Did Vasindas’ Around the Clock Care Do to Patients Between January and June 2024?

An unauthorized party got into Vasindas’ computer network on January 30, 2024, and stayed there until the intrusion was finally caught on June 18, 2024 — almost five months. During that window, the settlement notice says “certain files that contained private information were accessed,” including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and medical and health insurance information. Vasindas went on to notify 3,785 people that their data may have been caught up in it, according to breach reporting compiled by HIPAA Journal.

Kristi Nelson and Heather Velez sued on behalf of everyone who got that notice, arguing Vasindas failed to adequately protect the health and personal information it was trusted with. It’s the same basic theory that pushed a Colorado manufactured-housing operator into a nearly identical no-shared-pot settlement structure earlier this year.

Vasindas isn’t admitting it did anything wrong. It denies the claims entirely. That’s standard when a company settles — it just means the money got here faster than a trial would have.

Who Qualifies for the Vasindas’ Around the Clock Care Data Breach Settlement?

Here’s exactly how to know if you’re part of this case.

• U.S. residents who were sent notice that their Personal Information was actually or potentially accessed in the January 2024 Data Incident
• Anyone whose name, address, Social Security number, or medical and health insurance information sat on Vasindas’ systems between January 30 and June 18, 2024
• Current or former Vasindas patients and employees who got a settlement notice by mail

Excluded: the presiding judge and their family or staff, the lawyers in this case and their families or staff, government entities, Vasindas and its current or former officers and directors, and — obviously — whoever caused the breach in the first place. If you filed a valid request for exclusion, you’re out too.

Vasindas’ Around the Clock Care Patients Outside California — Are You Still Covered?

Yes. The class is defined as “all living citizens of the United States” who received notice — not just Kern County or California residents. This case is filed in California state court, but coverage is nationwide.

How Much Can Vasindas’ Around the Clock Care Data Breach Class Members Get?

Vasindas Payout With Proof — Up to $2,500

If you can show actual, documented out-of-pocket losses tied to the breach — identity theft costs, credit monitoring fees, ID replacement, postage for contacting your bank — you can claim up to $2,500. The losses have to have happened between January 30, 2024, and November 23, 2026. Bank statements and receipts work. Notes you wrote yourself explaining a loss don’t work alone; they have to back up other proof.

Vasindas Payout Without Proof — Flat $70

If you’d rather skip the paperwork, take the one-time $70 cash payment instead. No documentation, no explanation needed. You can only pick one option, not both.

Why This Vasindas Settlement Doesn’t Shrink as More People File

Most class action settlements pull from one shared pool of money — file late, and everyone’s check gets smaller. This one doesn’t work that way. Vasindas hasn’t disclosed a fixed total settlement fund, which is unusual. Practically, that means claims here are paid per person, not divided up. Honestly, that’s the detail most people scanning this settlement will miss, and it’s the one that actually matters for how much you get.

All settlement class members can also enroll in two years of CyEx Medical Shield Complete regardless of which cash option they pick, with $1 million in medical identity theft insurance and monitoring for health insurance ID exposure, medical record number exposure, and unauthorized HSA spending.

Payment goes out by Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, virtual prepaid card, or a physical check, your choice. Payments over $600 may appear on a 1099. Check with a tax professional.

Should Vasindas’ Around the Clock Care Class Members Opt Out or Object Before October 26, 2026?

What Opting Out of the Vasindas Settlement Actually Means

Opting out means you get no payment and no medical monitoring from this settlement. In exchange, you keep the right to sue Vasindas on your own. Most people shouldn’t opt out without talking to a lawyer first. The deadline is October 26, 2026, and your request has to be mailed — not emailed — to the administrator.

How to Object to the Vasindas Settlement

You can stay in the class and still tell the court you don’t like something about the deal. Objections go to the Kern County Superior Court clerk and to the administrator by October 26, 2026, and they have to cover specific ground — your case details, your reasons, and, notably, whether you or your lawyer used AI to help research or draft the objection. That last requirement isn’t boilerplate you’ll see on every settlement site; it’s specific to this case.

Talk to a class action lawsuit attorney before October 26, 2026, if you’re considering either option.
