Tabatha Sebastian, MA, Psy & Director of WISE Ombudsman Services in San Bernardino County was featured in the California Department of Aging’s 50 Years, 50 Stories, celebrating 50 years of partnership and programs serving older Californians.
As a dedicated advocate for older adults and people with disabilities in San Bernardino County, Tabatha works tirelessly to ensure that older adults and those who are disabled living in long-term care facilities maintain their civil rights and live with dignity and respect.
WISE began running San Bernardino’s Long-Term Ombudsman program in April 2022. In its first year, Tabatha’s team closed 78% more cases than prior years. The team also added three Master of Social Work interns, an innovation that allows the office to visit even more skilled nursing homes and other facilities.
