1 minor state citation and 0 verified complaints across 7 inspections since 2021. The single citation came from a December 2024 annual inspection, where a licensing analyst noted that 8 resident showers lacked non-skid mats or strips -- a safety deficiency confirmed by the program director on site. The facility's most recent annual inspection in December 2025 found it clean, sanitary, and in good repair, with no deficiencies cited. 2 complaints were investigated during this period: a 2022 allegation about room cleaning practices was found unsubstantiated after staff interviews and evidence review, and a 2025 complaint related to a scabies outbreak was also unsubstantiated -- state investigators found that infection control protocols, PPE use, and staff training were consistent with public health guidance throughout the outbreak. Annual inspections from 2023 onward have consistently found pathways clear, rooms properly furnished, and required supplies on hand.

Memory care specialist, all stages
Opened in 2014 as a dedicated memory care-only community. Three levels of care can carry residents from early-stage through end-stage disease progression without requiring a move.
FYI Safety Score 9.8
Among the highest scores in San Diego County — reflects the inspection and citation record on file with California's CCLD.
Beach and bay outings built into the program
Located in Pacific Beach; residents take scenic bus rides to the beach and picnics by Mission Bay Park as part of the regular activity schedule.
Wayfinding-specific architecture
Themed Great Rooms and corridors are designed specifically to help residents with memory loss navigate the building independently — not a general floor plan adapted for dementia.
Memory care diagnoses only
This is a specialized memory care community. Confirm your loved one's diagnosis and current stage qualify for admission before touring.
Costs escalate across three care levels
Monthly rates increase as disease progresses through the three care tiers. Ask for the full rate schedule at each level upfront, not just the entry rate.
Semi-private rooms in the mix
Accommodations include both private and semi-private options. If a private room is a requirement, ask about current availability and the price difference.
