La Vida Del Mar

La Vida Del Mar has operated for more than 17 years with a relatively contained compliance record, though the community has received one serious violation (Type A citation) and one substantiated allegation during its licensed period. The Type A citation indicates a serious violation affecting resident safety or care, while the facility has also received two administrative or non-serious findings (Type B citations) related to paperwork, posting, or minor procedure gaps. One allegation among the five investigated complaints was substantiated, meaning roughly 20% of investigated allegations were upheld by the state. Families should ask the community which category of allegation was substantiated and what specific corrective actions were taken and verified. The recent three-year period shows continued activity with one substantiated allegation in 2023, indicating ongoing oversight of this larger 130-bed community. CDSS routine inspections examine areas such as resident care plans and medication management, and the limited total of four inspections over 17 years of operation suggests the facility has generally maintained compliance with state requirements.
