FYI Safety Score™

9.4 Excellent

Since 2021, state inspectors have cited The Sage Garden at Rancho Bernardo 1 time (1 serious) and confirmed 1 complaint across 9 inspections. The serious citation came in December 2021 and involved a staff member who was not allowed to work at the home without an approved criminal record clearance; the home was fined $500 and the licensee agreed to keep that person away from the home. Inspectors also looked into a 2026 complaint about nighttime supervision, dignity of care, and unexplained injuries, but interviews with staff and outside sources did not support those allegations, and no evidence of the claimed problems was found during an unannounced visit. Annual inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025 found the home clean, safe, and in good repair with no issues cited.
