1 state citation and 0 verified complaints since 2021 across 20 inspections. The single minor citation, issued in June 2023, was for submitting required incident reports to the state licensing office later than the regulatory deadline; no care failures were cited. Of 11 complaints filed during this period, state investigators found all unsubstantiated or unfounded, including allegations related to transportation services, resident financial autonomy, and resident injury oversight in both the memory care and independent living sections. Annual inspections in 2025 and 2026 found the facility clean, sanitary, and in good repair, with staffing and safety systems operating as required.
Casa De Las Campanas is a 582-bed nonprofit continuing care retirement community in San Diego's Rancho Bernardo neighborhood. It's one of the largest CCRCs in the San Diego area, offering a full continuum of care from independent living through skilled nursing on a single campus.
Only not-for-profit Life Plan Community of its kind in San Diego County
Casa de las Campanas is the sole not-for-profit CCRC in San Diego offering both Type A (Life Care) and Type C (fee-for-service) contract options, with profits reinvested into the community rather than returned to shareholders.
Full continuum on one campus
Independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation are all on-site. Residents can transition between levels without relocating.
9.9 FYI Safety Score
Exceptional safety record based on CCLD inspection and complaint data — one of the highest scores in the FYI database.
40+ resident-run committees
Residents govern a substantial share of community life through over 40 committees — an unusually high level of resident self-governance for a community this size.
Entry fee required — starting at $375,417
The Type A Life Care contract requires a substantial entrance fee (one-bedroom Bernardo plan starts at $375,417, plus $35,000 for a second person). Monthly fees are additional. Clarify refund and transfer terms before signing.
Contract type significantly affects long-term cost
Type A locks in healthcare costs; Type C is fee-for-service. The right choice depends heavily on health trajectory and financial planning. Ask for a side-by-side cost projection at your tour.
582-bed campus — scale matters
At 582 beds, this is a large-scale operation. Ask specifically how assisted living residents experience day-to-day life relative to the independent living majority.
