FYI Safety Score

6.3 Fair

San Clemente Villas by the Sea has 5 state citations and 1 verified complaint since 2024 across 11 inspections. The verified complaint was substantiated following a September 2024 incident in which a memory care resident was mistakenly given another resident's psychotropic medications, including Seroquel, Risperidone, and Lorazepam, resulting in a 4-day hospitalization; the hospital reported no adverse effects and the facility issued the involved staff member a written warning. The 1 serious citation came from a March 2025 investigation in which inspectors determined staff failed to provide timely access to a deceased resident's records within the required 2-business-day window. The 4 minor citations were issued during the August 2025 annual inspection, covering food services, TB health screening, staff training, and care of persons with dementia; all were corrected and verified by the September 2025 follow-up visit. Several additional complaints, including allegations about construction disturbances, accessible medications, and a resident's meal attendance, were investigated and found unsubstantiated. The facility has operated under new ownership since mid-2024.
