Elder Abuse in San Bernardino County

San Bernardino County spans over 20,000 square miles — making it the largest county by area in the contiguous United States. Home to over 2.2 million residents with a growing senior population of more than 300,000 adults aged 65 and older, the county has more than 80 skilled nursing facilities and hundreds of assisted living communities spread across its urban centers and remote desert communities.

The county's vast geography creates unique challenges for elder care. Facilities in the densely populated western corridor — from Ontario and Fontana to Rancho Cucamonga and Upland — face many of the same understaffing issues as neighboring Los Angeles County. Meanwhile, facilities in the High Desert and mountain communities often operate with even fewer resources and less regulatory oversight.

At California Nursing Home Law, attorneys Michael Young and Thomas Wallin have extensive experience with Inland Empire facilities. As former nursing home defense attorneys, they know how corporate chains cut corners across their entire portfolio — and they use that insider knowledge to build powerful cases for San Bernardino County families.
