Inspection Report Summary
Most inspections of Vista Del Mar Senior Living Facility found no deficiencies, with many complaint investigations unsubstantiated, indicating generally consistent compliance with care and safety standards. The most recent report from September 24, 2025, cited two Type A deficiencies involving an unauthorized staff member and improper water temperatures, both posing immediate health and safety risks. Earlier reports showed some serious issues, including substantiated deficiencies related to medication management, fall risk supervision, and personal rights violations, but these were isolated and not recent. The facility has demonstrated improvement over time, with the latest annual inspection showing fewer and more contained deficiencies compared to past substantiated complaints involving pressure injuries, pest control, and medication errors. Overall, while some serious concerns have occurred, recent inspections suggest the facility is addressing these issues and maintaining better compliance.
