Inspection Report Summary for Westmont of La Mesa

Westmont of La Mesa (Facility #374604079) received a series of Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing evaluations between July 2021 and February 2023. The annual required visits (July 2021, September 2021, September 2022, September 2022, and September 2023) and case‑management visits—focused on COVID‑19 screening, testing, disinfection, and personal protective equipment—were all conducted by Licensing Program Analysts, often accompanied by healthcare‑associated infection (HAI) nurses from San Diego County. In each of those encounters, the reviewers observed the facility’s adherence to infection‑control protocols and found no deficiencies, noting that staff maintained current criminal record clearances and that the mitigation plan was actively implemented.

In contrast, the August 1 2022 case‑management visit uncovered a serious deficiency. An Interim Assistant Program Administrator noted that several staff members were not wearing masks correctly during a prior complaint‑investigation visit, and that the facility had been dealing with an outbreak of COVID‑19 cases between July 28 and August 1. While a previous HAI assessment had found no deficiencies, the August visit cited a personal‑rights violation: the facility had failed to provide healthful accommodations to 138 residents, a shortfall that placed residents at risk. A plan of correction was developed with a due date of August 8, 2022, and the licensee received the requisite deficiency documentation and appeal rights information.

The overall pattern from the report set shows Westmont of La Mesa maintaining consistent compliance with infection‑control and staffing requirements, but with a notable lapse in resident accommodations during a COVID‑19 outbreak. The single cited deficiency underscores the importance of continual monitoring of PPE use and resident environment standards, even when other regulatory areas appear compliant.
