1 minor state citation and 0 verified complaints since 2021 across 11 inspections. The sole citation was issued in January 2023 following a November 2022 incident in which a resident with dementia left the facility unobserved through a kitchen door and was located by law enforcement at a nearby shopping center approximately 1 hour later; no injuries were reported. A 2024 complaint alleging a resident was left unattended after a fall was investigated and found unsubstantiated: inspectors confirmed the resident had a documented history of choosing to crawl rather than use walking equipment and sustained no injuries. Investigators also conducted case management visits following reported incidents involving resident deaths in 2021 and 2022 and a hospitalization in 2025; none resulted in additional citations. Annual inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 found the facility clean, in good repair, and in compliance with state regulations.
ActivCare at 4S Ranch is a 60-bed memory care community in the 4S Ranch neighborhood of San Diego, part of the ActivCare Living network. This is a dedicated memory care facility, not a mixed assisted living community, meaning every aspect of the environment is designed around cognitive support.
Virtual tours are available for families who want to explore the space before visiting in person.
The Ranch Club neighborhood
A dedicated neighborhood within the community for residents in early-stage memory loss or Mild Cognitive Impairment, with programming calibrated to that stage rather than grouped with higher-acuity residents.
Three-level care continuum
Three defined care levels take residents from initial MCI through late-stage dementia without requiring a move to a different facility as the disease progresses.
9.9 FYI Safety Score
Top-tier inspection record in San Diego County. 9.9 out of 10 on the FYI Safety Score.
On-site licensed nurse daily
A licensed nurse is physically on-site 7 days a week, not on-call. For memory care, this is a meaningful staffing distinction over facilities with nurse availability by phone only.
Memory care only
This is a dedicated memory care community, not general assisted living. A dementia or MCI diagnosis is the entry point. Not appropriate for residents without a memory condition.
Private vs. semi-private rooms
Both private and semi-private accommodations are available. Ask about the pricing difference and current availability of private units when you tour.
Pricing is estimated, please contact the facility to confirm.
