San Diego County seniors deserve safe, dignified care. When nursing homes fail them, our former defense attorneys use insider knowledge to hold those facilities accountable.
San Diego County is California's second-most populous county, home to over 3.3 million residents. With more than 500,000 seniors aged 65 and older, the county has a vast network of over 200 licensed skilled nursing facilities and hundreds of assisted living communities.
San Diego County has seen a sharp increase in elder abuse reports in recent years. Common issues include chronic understaffing at facilities across the county, failure to provide adequate medical care, medication errors, and preventable falls. The military retiree community in San Diego is particularly vulnerable, as many veterans rely on long-term care facilities for their healthcare needs.
At California Nursing Home Law, attorneys Michael Young and Thomas Wallin bring decades of insider defense experience to every San Diego County case. They know how facilities in this region operate, and they use that knowledge to build the strongest possible cases for their clients.
