FYI Safety Score

6.7 Fair

Newport Mesa Senior Living has 10 state citations (4 serious, 6 minor) and 2 verified complaints since 2021 across 14 inspections. Both verified complaints are from early 2025 and involve direct care: in 1, a resident with a documented pureed diet and thickened liquids requirement was given eggs by a staff member, aspirated, and required emergency hospitalization; in the other, a review of 10 residents found all 10 had missed doses of critical medications including blood pressure and heart medications because the facility was not keeping adequate supply in stock. The facility has 2 resident elopements on record: in June 2023 a resident was found at a bus stop 10 minutes away, and in October 2025 a resident exited undetected and was not reported missing for approximately 1 hour before being located by law enforcement about 5 hours after the exit. The May 2025 annual inspection cited a missing smoke alarm, absent resident call systems in bedrooms, and hot water temperatures outside the required range; those deficiencies were cleared by August 2025. The parent company, Pacifica Senior Living, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in early 2025; management reported no financial impact to residents or staff at this location.
