Rancho Penasquitos Senior Living has 15 state citations and 6 verified complaints since 2022 across 23 inspections, including 2 serious citations. The facility opened under new ownership in 2022. A verified complaint from August 2023 found that memory care rooms had not been cleaned in over a week and 1 resident's room had a strong urine smell with badly stained carpet, attributed to the facility operating with only 1 housekeeper at the time. A 2023 citation found that a staff member did not treat a resident with dignity in their personal relationship, after which the facility provided all staff with in-service training on elder abuse. A separate verified complaint found that while staff reported repositioning and wound care for a bedridden hospice resident, hospice visit records repeatedly documented the resident with soiled briefs and linens. In late 2025, the facility self-reported 3 incidents involving 1 resident, including a fall requiring hospitalization and the resident's subsequent death at the hospital, which prompted case management visits that did not result in citations.
