San Diego seniors deserve safe, dignified care. When nursing homes fail them, our former defense attorneys use insider knowledge to hold those facilities accountable.
San Diego is California's second-largest city — a sprawling coastal metropolis with a large and growing senior population. Military retirees, snowbirds, and longtime residents make up a significant portion of the 200,000+ seniors aged 65 and older, many of whom eventually need skilled nursing care in one of the city's 80+ licensed facilities.
The rapid growth of for-profit facility chains along the I-15 and I-8 corridors has strained quality of care across San Diego. Staffing competition with Tijuana-border healthcare facilities and a high cost of living that drives out experienced CNAs compound the problem. A culture of retirement community marketing can mask substandard care behind glossy brochures, making it harder for families to identify warning signs until real harm has been done.
Attorneys Michael Young and Thomas Wallin are former defense lawyers who have recovered over $250 million for elder abuse victims. Their insider knowledge of how San Diego's major facility operators train staff to minimize documentation and deflect blame gives your family a decisive advantage in holding negligent facilities accountable.
