Attorney Phil Lindsley was interviewed by Lauren Mapp for a story in the Union Tribune, published this weekend, regarding long-term care facilities and the COVID-19 vaccine.

40 years ago our very own Phil Lindsley was sworn into the State Bar of California as an attorney! We couldn't let this momentous occasion pass without a proper celebration and as always, he is a great sport. Cheers to 40 years, Phil!!!

Just sayin’...

Two years with SDELC. I am so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful firm/family.

Our very own Phil Lindsley was interviewed by Jill Castellano for a story out yesterday in KPBS San Diego News. The story discusses the history of staffing shortages at nursing homes, which have left them especially vulnerable to the pandemic. This is an important read for all, even more so for those with a loved one in a facility.

Our very own Phil Lindsley is quoted in Jared Whitlock's latest article in The Voice, which looks into a recent COVID-19 lawsuit filed against a local nursing facility.

Listen along as Executive Director of California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform (CANHR), Pat McGinnis, and others give their testimony to the California State Assembly Health & Aging Long-Term Care Committee regarding nursing home reform in light of COVID-19.

This story by Jared Whitlock in The Voice highlights the problems with non-medical Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs) trying to cope with fragile elders and those with chronic medical conditions in a COVID-19 world. Unlike skilled nursing facilities, they are not staffed for this, and the staff they have is not trained to deal with medical issues. There are enough problems with getting adequate care in skilled nursing. The problems with the RCFEs is much worse, and not getting adequate attention. Thanks Jared!
