An ambulance crew assists a patient outside Stillwater Post-acute, one of 20 licensed care facilities in El Cajon. As the ambulance crew rushed into the El Cajon nursing home in response to a 911 call about a medical emergency, they expected to find a person suffering a stroke, in cardiac arrest or bleeding and seriously injured. Instead, they found someone in need of a prescription refill.

The largest jump came from the 77 calls from the 39-bed VOA Carlton G. Luhman Center for Supportive Living, which represented a 670% increase from 2022. Another option is to charge $486.83 for every call 50 percent beyond the 1.35 average, and the third option would be $243 for each call at any level above the average.
