Overview of Santa Fe Care Home

In Las Vegas’s Charleston neighborhood, the 10-bed Santa Fe Care Home operates at 4621 Exposition Ave under the administration of Romeo Balgan, with an 11-year operational history and active licensure. The facility provides assisted living and independent living services with 24-hour staffing and rehabilitation programs on-site. The American Health Care Association recognized Santa Fe with a 2018 Bronze National Quality Award.

Thirteen inspections spanning 2014 to November 2024 have documented 52 total deficiencies without fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions. Although deficiencies per inspection average 4, compared to Nevada’s average of 3, the facility’s total deficiency count runs 16% below state average and 17% fewer per year.

The November 2024 inspection cited one substantiated pest control deficiency involving roach traps improperly placed on kitchen countertops. Across the facility’s inspection history, recurring issues center on medication administration accuracy and documentation completeness, coupled with gaps in staff training for medication management, cultural competency, first aid and CPR, background clearance, and tuberculosis screening. Prior surveys also noted facility maintenance concerns such as unsecured oxygen canisters and exterior clutter.

Monthly Chef’s Selection Dinners showcasing gourmet international cuisine headline the community’s amenities, alongside social outings, family gathering rooms, and on-site beauty and barber services. Housekeeping, laundry, medication oversight, transportation, and recreational activities complete the service offerings. The facility accommodates pets and offers complimentary Wi-Fi throughout.

Santa Fe serves residents in an intimate setting where assisted living needs align with the small-scale community environment; current occupancy at 70% remains below Nevada’s 81.5% state average.
