Escondido, CA 92026

6 beds • Est. 2018 (7 years)Accepts Medi-Cal (ALW)


FYI Safety Score

9.4 Excellent

2 minor state citations and 0 verified complaints since 2021 across 8 inspections. Both citations stem from a single August 2022 incident in which a resident was discovered missing from the facility and later located by emergency services approximately half a mile away with facial injuries and fractures. Inspectors cited the facility for failing to notify the resident's responsible party and local law enforcement promptly: the facility did not contact law enforcement until more than 3 hours after the resident was found missing, despite door alarms being installed throughout. Complaints filed in connection with this incident were investigated by the state and not substantiated. Annual inspections in 2023, July 2024, and July 2025 found no deficiencies. The facility has operated under different administrators since 2022, and the most recent annual inspection in July 2025 was conducted with the current administrator.
