Del Mar Park

Del Mar Park's compliance record over its 11-year operating history shows a pattern of regulatory concerns that has persisted into recent years. The facility has received 7 Type A citations (serious violations affecting resident safety or care) and 10 Type B citations (administrative or non-serious findings) across its licensed period, with complaint investigations significantly outnumbering routine inspections. State investigators have substantiated 9 allegations against the community, with roughly one-third of all investigated allegations being substantiated rather than unfounded. The recent three-year period shows continued issues, including 7 substantiated allegations and 1 Type A citation from complaint investigations, indicating that regulatory concerns have not been resolved despite the facility's long operating tenure. Families should ask the community which specific categories of allegations were substantiated, what corrective actions were taken and verified by the state, and how they plan to address the ongoing pattern of complaint investigations. While CDSS routine inspections typically review areas like resident care plans and staff training without finding serious violations, the volume of substantiated complaints suggests families should carefully evaluate the community's current practices and oversight measures.
