Inspection Report Summary for Vienna at Santianna – Memory Care
SANTIANNA OAKMONT SIGNATURE LIVING, located at 2560 Faraday Ave, Carlsbad, began its licensing process in late 2021 and received its initial license in early 2022. An initial Component II interview on 17 February 2022 confirmed the administrator’s understanding of Title 22 requirements and the facility’s operational scope. A subsequent pre‑licensing inspection on 20 April 2022, conducted by Licensing Program Analyst Natasha Persaud, found the property clean, well‑maintained, and fully compliant with fire, egress, and safety standards, and the facility was granted a 226‑resident capacity.
During the COVID‑19 era, an unannounced Health‑Associated Infection (HAI) visit in August 2022, led by Licensing Program Analyst Carmen Lopez and San Diego County nursing contractors, yielded no deficiencies. The team verified that cleaning, testing, isolation, and PPE protocols were in place and that the facility’s mitigation plan was effective. The same month, an unannounced case‑management visit in October 2022 found no additional issues, indicating ongoing compliance with resident care and safety procedures.
However, in early March 2023 a complaint‑investigation visit revealed a regulatory lapse: the facility failed to file a required incident report for a February 2023 event involving Resident 1 (R1), who was exposed to a medication error but sustained no injuries. The Licensee was cited for non‑compliance with reporting requirements under Section 87211 and was required to submit a Plan of Correction by 14 March 2023. This deficiency underscores a potential safety risk, given that the same resident was later involved in an elopement incident.
An unannounced incident visit on 9 June 2023, prompted by the self‑submitted LIC624 report, documented R1’s accidental exit from the memory‑care unit via a delayed‑egress door that failed to trigger its alarm. The incident was resolved without injury, but the investigation highlighted a gap in the door‑alarm system and the need for improved monitoring of security equipment.
Across these visits, the facility has largely maintained compliance with California’s Title 22 standards, demonstrating adequate physical plant conditions, staffing qualifications, and emergency preparedness. The primary areas of concern remain timely incident reporting and ensuring the reliability of security systems in high‑risk units. The licensing agency’s follow‑up on the reported deficiencies will determine whether further corrective action is necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:
- Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
- Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
- Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
- Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
- State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
- Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
- Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.
