Inspection Report Summary for AvantGarde of La Jolla

Most inspections found deficiencies related to staff background clearances, resident elopement risks, and some resident care issues such as incontinence assistance and eviction procedures. The most recent report from September 19, 2025, cited two serious deficiencies involving staff working without approved background clearances, resulting in civil penalties totaling $1,900. Earlier reports also noted a failure to secure the facility perimeter leading to a resident elopement and substantiated complaints about wrongful eviction and medication mishandling, while several other complaint investigations were unsubstantiated. There is a pattern of improvement in some areas, as the September 19, 2025 follow-up visit found no deficiencies related to a resident fall incident. Overall, the facility has faced repeated issues with staff clearance and resident safety but has addressed some concerns over time.
