Cloisters of the Valley has 20 state citations (6 serious, 14 minor) and 18 verified complaints across 52 inspections since 2021. The most serious recent finding, from November 2025, involved a resident left unsupervised on a toilet who fell and fractured an ankle; state investigators determined the facility's failure to follow its own fall-prevention care plan constituted neglect causing serious bodily injury. In December 2025, a locked medication cart left residents without their morning doses, and the executive director was present during the investigation but initially declined to meet with the inspector. A 2021 complaint found that a resident's prescribed medication was not administered for approximately 2 months after it was ordered. In August 2024, a resident was transferred to a shared room without the 30-day written notice required by the residency agreement. The facility was also cited in 2021 for posting an incorrect license number on its website, which limited public access to its compliance history.
Cloisters of the Valley is a 70-bed assisted living community in San Diego. While its smaller size could offer a more personal experience, the facility's inspection history presents serious concerns that families need to evaluate carefully.
Purpose-built for memory care
Designed and built exclusively for memory care — not converted from an assisted living floor. Every living space was planned around the specific needs of memory-impaired residents.
Garden access from most rooms
A walk-through garden with fountains surrounds the building; most rooms include a private patio with direct garden access.
Hospice-in-place
Care extends through end of life, including hospice, so residents don't face a transfer to a different facility as needs progress.
Short-term respite stays available
Short-term respite care is offered at an all-inclusive daily rate — for post-hospital recovery, caregiver breaks, or previewing the community before committing to a long-term move.
Low safety score
FYI Safety Score 2.9/10. Review the inspection history directly and ask management what steps have been taken to address past citations before deciding.
