From Paso Robles to Pismo Beach, our former nursing home defense attorneys fight for Central Coast families whose loved ones have been harmed by negligent care facilities.
San Luis Obispo County sits along California's stunning Central Coast, home to approximately 280,000 residents. The county has a significant and growing retirement community, with more than 55,000 adults aged 65 and older. With approximately 15 licensed skilled nursing facilities and a number of assisted living and residential care communities, SLO County seniors have fewer options than those in larger metro areas.
The limited number of facilities can make it difficult for families to find alternatives when they suspect abuse or neglect. Some families feel trapped, believing that moving a loved one to another facility would be worse than staying. This is never the case — no resident should endure abuse, and our attorneys can help families navigate the process of both pursuing legal action and finding safer care.
At California Nursing Home Law, attorneys Michael Young and Thomas Wallin serve families throughout San Luis Obispo County with the same aggressive, insider-knowledge approach they bring to cases across the state.
Welfare & Institutions Code 15600-15675 — Allows elder abuse victims to recover enhanced damages.
