Southern California Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer Blog
In San Bernardino County and throughout Southern California, there are millions of older adults, many of whom reside in nursing homes or assisted living facilities. According to data from the California Health Benefits Review Program (CHBRP), adults aged 65 and up represent the “fastest growing age group” in California. In 2021, there were 6 million older adults living in the state, and that number has since increased. By 2030, the CHBRP estimates that the state’s population of adults aged 65 and up will total nearly 9 million, or 20 percent of California’s population.
