Ventura County
Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers

Ventura County's seniors deserve safe, compassionate care. When nursing homes and assisted living facilities fail them, our former defense attorneys fight relentlessly for justice.

Elder Abuse in Ventura County

Ventura County is home to approximately 850,000 residents, with a senior population exceeding 150,000 adults aged 65 and older. The county has more than 30 licensed skilled nursing facilities and dozens of assisted living and residential care communities scattered across its coastal cities, agricultural valleys, and suburban neighborhoods.

While Ventura County is often perceived as a quieter, more affluent alternative to neighboring Los Angeles, elder abuse and neglect are no less common here. Many of the same corporate chains that operate problem-plagued facilities in LA also run homes in Ventura, Oxnard, Thousand Oaks, and Simi Valley — often with the same cost-cutting practices and staffing shortages.

At California Nursing Home Law, attorneys Michael Young and Thomas Wallin have represented families throughout Ventura County. Their insider knowledge of how nursing home defense works gives every client a decisive advantage in pursuing justice and maximum compensation.
