Inspection Report Summary for Sunrise at La Costa

Sunrise at La Costa, a 740‑type facility in Carlsbad, experienced several incident‑related inspections between 2021 and 2023. In April and May 2021, unannounced case‑management visits addressed self‑reported incidents involving a single resident (R1) who was injured by staff, hospitalized, and later died. Each visit—conducted by LPA Kristina Ryan and LPM Alexandre Vo or LPA Liliana Silveira—resulted in no deficiencies being cited. The facility’s administrator, Wesley Lavender, provided copies of records and received copies of the report, confidentiality list, and appeal rights in each case.

On 29 November 2021, a required one‑year inspection by LPA Ramon Serrano also yielded no deficiencies. The evaluator toured the premises, confirmed that all staff held current criminal‑record clearances, and reviewed the facility’s COVID‑19 mitigation plan, noting satisfactory implementation of testing, disinfection, and personal‑protective‑equipment protocols.

The most recent assessment, a 7 June 2023 case‑management visit by LPA Dang Nguyen, focused on an incident of elopement by the same resident (R1) in the secured memory‑care unit. The elopement was brief; R1 was recovered without injury. However, the visit uncovered a regulatory deficiency: delayed‑egress doors and a courtyard gate in the memory‑care unit lacked required signage within 12 inches of the panic bar or latch, posing a potential safety risk. A Plan of Correction was developed with the licensee, and technical assistance was provided regarding staffing and absentee‑notification policies. The evaluator noted that the facility’s administrator had changed to Erika Castile by this time.

Overall, Sunrise at La Costa has maintained compliance in infection control and staff clearance requirements, and has consistently addressed resident‑related incidents without formal deficiencies. The 2023 deficiency highlights a lapse in environmental safety standards for a high‑risk population, but the prompt development of a corrective plan suggests the facility is responsive to regulatory oversight.
