The Rulebook

The rules that apply to this facility.

State requirements with the exact regulation citation, plain-language explanation, and a question to ask on tour. Rules this facility has been cited for appear first.

What dementia-care training must staff complete?22 CCR §87705 / HSC §1569.625
Cited Dec 2023+
Plain language

Because a facility markets dementia or Alzheimer's care, state law mandates higher training standards: 12 hours of initial dementia training (6 hours before a staff member works independently with residents, 6 more within the first 4 weeks), 8 hours of annual dementia in-service every year thereafter, and an administrator must include 8 hours of dementia-specific continuing education in every 2-year recertification cycle. Training must cover individualized care plans, behavioral expressions, appropriate supervision, and the facility's dementia care philosophy.

Ask on tour

Can you show me each direct-care staffer's most recent dementia training certificate, and tell me when their next refresher is due?

Tour Prep

Questions to ask before you visit.

A short pre-tour checklist tailored to Oceanside Senior Living's record and state requirements.

01 /

The facility holds license 374604300 and operates 165 beds under the name Hrse Pacficia Senior Living Oceanside Trs Llc — can you provide a copy of the current license and confirm the license status is active with no pending actions?

Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.

02 /

CDSS records show zero inspections, zero deficiencies, and zero complaints on file — can you explain why no state inspection reports appear in the public Transparency API database, and provide documentation of when the most recent licensing visit occurred?

Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.

03 /

The facility is not designated as memory care in CDSS licensing records — does the facility operate under the standard residential care for the elderly license type, or has a formal memory-care designation been applied for but not yet reflected in state data?

Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.

Plain-language summary

On April 13, 2026, a fire started in a laundry machine in the facility's memory care building, and residents were temporarily evacuated while the fire department extinguished it; no residents or staff were injured and the building was cleared for reoccupancy the same day. An inspector found no health or safety concerns during a follow-up visit on May 2, 2026, but cited the facility for failing to report the fire to the state licensing department by the required deadline.

Type B22 CCR §87211(a)(3)
Verbatim citation text · 22 CCR §87211(a)(3)

Based on interviews, the Licensee did not comply with the section cited above in that the Licensee did not notify the Department of the fire the following working day. This poses a potential safety risk of 90 of 90 residents in care.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rebecca Borunda conducted an unannounced case management visit to conduct follow up regarding an incident. LPA was greeted by, identified herself to, and explained the purpose of the visit with Executive Director Kristel Johnson. On 4/15/2026, the Department was made aware of a fire that occurred in the facility's memory care building on 4/13/2026.

LPA did not observe any health or safety concerns in the facility's memory care. Interviews revealed that a laundry machine in the facility's memory care caught fire, resulting in memory care residents being temporarily evacuated from the building. The Fire Department was contacted, put out the fire, and cleared the memory care building for resident repopulation the same day. No residents or staff were injured during the fire and residents were not required to be evacuated to an alternative location off facility property. Interviews revealed that the facility did not report the fire to the Department by the next working day, which was 4/14/2026. The following deficiency was cited for reporting requirements and noted on the attached LIC809-D page. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Kristel Johnson, whose signature below confirms receipt of a copy of this report and the Licensee Appeal Rights (LIC9058 3/22).

Plain-language summary

A complaint alleged that the memory care unit did not have adequate overnight staffing in 2021, but the Department was unable to verify this claim because staff schedules from that time were not available. Current staffing records from 2022 through 2024 show the facility maintains at least two care staff overnight, which meets regulatory requirements. The complaint was deemed unsubstantiated.

Read raw inspector notes

Review of Resident 1’s (R1’s) medical and care assessment records dated 2021 revealed that R1 had mild cognitive impairment, was confused and disoriented, and required assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting and multiple safety checks per shift. While assessment records noted that R1 was not a fall risk, review of progress notes for R1 in 2021 revealed that R1 had multiple falls a month, usually with no injuries. Each time R1 fell, staff would assess R1 for any pain or injuries. Review of progress notes for R1 in 2021 revealed that in July 2021, R1 was found on the floor in a common area by staff and was observed to have minor injuries to the head and leg, and R1 complained of pain. Staff called 911 and emergency personnel assessed and transported R1 to the hospital. The Department was unable to obtain copies of R1’s discharge paperwork resulting in the Department’s inability to determine the severity of R1’s injuries. R1’s progress notes showed a pattern of staff conducting regular safety checks on R1, as well as encouraging R1 to attend communal meals and activities. Review of progress notes for residents revealed that an outside source complained that one staff working in the facility’s memory care was not sufficient to supervise residents overnight. Review of regulations regarding overnight supervision requirements for facilities caring for up to 100 residents revealed that at least one awake staff member was required to be on site with another staff on call and available to respond within 10 minutes. The Department was unable to interview any relevant staff that were working in 2021 or obtain staff schedules in 2021 to determine the staffing level in the facility’s memory care in 2021. However, interviews with staff responsible for oversight of the memory care in 2022 through 2024 revealed that the memory care was staffed with a minimum of 3 care staff during the morning and afternoon shifts, and a minimum of 2 care staff during the overnight shift. Those staff also stated that if a caregiver called out for a shift, other caregivers would be contacted to cover the shift, or the Memory Care Director would provide direct resident care. The Department has investigated the above-mentioned allegations and based on interviews and records review, the preponderance of the evidence has not been met, therefore, these allegations are deemed unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Kristel Johnson, whose signature below confirms receipt of a copy of this report and the Licensee Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22).

Interviews and reviews of R1’s financial ledgers revealed that in May 2025, R1 stopped submitting payments for basic services and care rates. Interviews and review of assessment records from April and May 2025 revealed that R1 was declining cognitively and was moved into the facility’s memory care in late May 2025. Review of email exchanges between R1’s responsible party and facility management starting in late July 2025 revealed that both parties were in communications regarding managing R1’s finances and bringing R1’s balance in good standing. On August 1, 2025, the facility hand delivered an eviction notice to R1 regarding failure to pay for fees issued between May 2025 and July 2025 and mailed and emailed a written copy to R1’s responsible party. After not receiving any payment prior to the eviction notice’s effective date of September 1, 2025, the facility filed for an unlawful detainer with the San Diego County Superior Court on September 4, 2025. Email communications between R1’s responsible party and facility management documented that R1’s responsible party was in the process of having R1’s long term care insurance cover R1’s future basic rate and care fees starting in May 2025. Emails showed that R1’s responsible party mailed multiple physical checks to the facility, however, issues with dates and not covering the full amount of R1's outstanding balance caused the checks to be unable to be cashed. The facility did not receive any other payments until mid-January 2026, when the facility received and cashed a check which almost covered R1’s existing balance at that time. Interviews and review of a Notice to Vacate revealed that R1 was issued a notice to vacate by the San Diego Sheriff and R1 would be physically evicted on January 22, 2026. Interviews revealed that R1's responsible party submitted payments to the facility in January 2026, which settled R1's outstanding balance. Interviews with facility management revealed that the eviction through the local Sheriff was cancelled during LPA’s visit, and LPA Borunda verified that R1 remained at the facility and had not been evicted as of the end of today’s visit. The Department has investigated the above-mentioned allegation and based on interview and records review, the preponderance of the evidence has not been met, therefore, this allegation is deemed unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Kristel Johnson, whose signature below confirms receipt of a copy of this report and the Licensee Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22).

Plain-language summary

This was a routine inspection that reviewed the facility's transportation and recreation programs for June and July 2025. The inspection examined one incident where a resident who uses an electric wheelchair could not attend a religious service because the only available vehicle—a borrowed bus with a smaller, lower-capacity wheelchair lift—was unsafe for the resident's equipment, though the resident also declined to provide information about the wheelchair's weight when asked. The state found no violation, as the resident was able to attend all other outings and services during the two-month period.

Read raw inspector notes

Review of outing sign-up sheets for June and July 2025 showed that the facility offered transportation to multiple different religious services on Sundays. Outing sign-up sheets revealed that R1 signed up for transportation for almost every single recreational outing and religious services in June and July. Interviews with activities staff revealed that the facility owned three vehicles, a bus with a wheelchair lift, a van with a drive-up ramp, and a spare bus given to the facility from a different community. Interviews revealed that the facility’s two buses required repairs, one of which would not be repaired until 7/23/2025. The facility’s van also required smog testing on 7/22/2025 to renew its vehicle registration and facility staff feared that the van would not pass the smog testing. Due to these concerns, the facility had been borrowing a bus from a sister facility when that bus was not already in use by the sister facility. Interviews with staff revealed that R1 attended all outings and religious services that R1 signed up for except for a religious service on one occasion. Staff stated that R1 and another resident used electric wheelchairs and had both signed up for the same religious service, causing staff to question if the borrowed bus, which was the only available vehicle, could accommodate the size of both wheelchairs. Additionally, interviews with staff revealed that the borrowed bus had a physically smaller wheelchair lift with a lower weight capacity than the facility’s normal bus. Interviews revealed that R1 refused to provide facility management with information on the weight of R1’s wheelchair when asked by staff. Additionally, staff stated that due to the smaller size of the lift, R1’s wheelchair wheels would have hung off the edges of the lift, putting R1 in a very unsafe situation. Interviews did not reveal any other instances where R1 was not able to attend outings. The Department has investigated the above-mentioned allegation and based on interviews and records review, the preponderance of the evidence has not been met, therefore, this allegation is deemed unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Kristel Johnson, whose signature below confirms receipt of a copy of this report and the Licensee Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22).

Plain-language summary

A complaint alleged that residents were not offered cooling devices during hot weather. The facility's investigation found that portable air conditioning units were available to residents, thermostats in resident rooms did not exceed 85 degrees, and the facility's air conditioning system was repaired by an outside vendor in late July 2025 after a leak was discovered; the complaint was found to be unsubstantiated.

Interviews with residents and staff revealed that the facility offered portable AC units to residents, however, some residents claimed that they were not offered portable AC units, fans, or any other cooling devices despite residents wanting those devices. Interviews with staff provided conflicting information, stating that some residents complained that the portable AC units were too noisy and residents did not want to use them. Interviews with residents and LPA observations of thermostat readings in resident rooms did not reveal any evidence that the temperature in resident rooms rose above 85 degrees. Review of work orders and interviews with staff revealed that an outside vendor assessed the facility’s AC system in late July 2025 and determined that there was a leak in the AC system, which the vendor fixed. Interviews with staff and residents revealed that the issue with the AC system took approximately two weeks to fix. The Department has investigated the above-mentioned allegation and based on interviews and observations, the preponderance of the evidence has not been met, therefore, this allegation is deemed unsubstantiated.

Plain-language summary

A complaint was investigated that alleged staff treated a resident disrespectfully, but inspectors found no evidence of inappropriate staff behavior during visits between January and May 2025. The resident was eventually evicted in October 2025 for violating house rules about treating residents and staff respectfully, and staff and other residents reported wanting to avoid interactions with this resident due to their personality and video recording behaviors. The facility also did not charge a late fee for late payments as stated in the admission agreement, though the resident confirmed they were not charged for care services they did not receive.

Read raw inspector notes

LPA observations during multiple on-site visits between January and May 2025 did not reveal any instances of staff interacting with residents, including R1, in an inappropriate, disrespectful, or rude manner. Interviews with R1, residents, staff, and LPA observations revealed that R1 could be difficult to interact with due to R1’s personality. During interviews, staff and residents expressed a desire to avoid interactions with R1 due to R1’s video recording behaviors and personality. Interviews and records review revealed that R1 was evicted from the facility in early October 2025 due to violating house rules regarding treating residents and staff with respect. Review of R1’s financial statements from November 2024 to October 2025 revealed that R1 had monthly reoccurring charges for basic room and board and R1 did not receive any care, resulting in R1 not being charged for any care. Review of R1’s admission agreement revealed that the facility would charge a late fee of $250 for any payments received after the fifth day of the month. Despite R1 submitting payment for basic room and board after the 5 th of the month on multiple occasions, R1 was not charged a late fee. Additionally, multiple interviews with R1 did not disclose any concerns that R1 was charged for services that R1 did not receive or were not previously explained. The Department has investigated the above-mentioned allegations and based on interviews, record review, and observation, the preponderance of the evidence has not been met, therefore, these allegations are deemed unsubstantiated.

Plain-language summary

A complaint alleged the facility incorrectly charged a resident twice for May 2025 services and refused to refund the overpayment. An investigation found the facility did receive two payments, discussions about a refund occurred between staff and management, but the facility's refund policy only required refunds upon discharge or death—not during active residency—and state regulations do not require refunds to be issued as checks rather than applied to future bills. The complaint was deemed unsubstantiated.

Read raw inspector notes

Interviews with R1 and outside sources revealed that R1 and their responsible party had multiple discussions with facility management, including the Executive Director (ED) regarding refunding one of the payments. Review of email communication between facility staff and the facility corporate office revealed that on 5/6/2025, the Business Office Manager sent an email to the corporate billing office explaining the situation including that R1’s responsible party had requested a refund check, not a credit to their billing account, and that the facility was requesting a refund of one of the payments. Between 5/9/2025 and 5/16/2025, the ED sent multiple emails requesting follow-up on the refund request for R1 with no response from the corporate office. On 5/20/2025, the basic service rate for June 2025 posted in the facility’s electronic billing system, which automatically applied the overpayment for May 2025 to the June charges. Emails from the corporate office on 5/21/2025 stated that because the June charges had already been added to the billing system and R1’s financial ledger showed a balance of $0, the facility was unable to refund R1’s overpayment from May 2025. As of 6/2/2025, the facility has not issued R1 or their authorized representative a refund check for the overpayment for May 2025. Facility management did not deny during interviews that the facility received two payments for R1’s basic service rate for the month of May and that R1’s account showed an overpayment between 5/6/2025 and 5/20/2025. Review of R1’s admission agreement signed 3/27/2025 revealed that according to the facility’s refund policy regarding unused portions of the monthly fee, any extra money would be refunded within 30 days of the termination of the agreement upon relocation from the facility or resident death. However, R1’s agreement was still valid as of 6/2/2025, since R1 had not relocated from the facility or had died. Review of regulations did not reveal any regulations that would require the facility to issue a refund check instead of applying the overpayment to future billing charges. The Department has investigated the above-mentioned allegation and based on interviews and records review, the preponderance of the evidence has not been met, therefore, this allegation is deemed unsubstantiated.

Plain-language summary

This complaint investigation found that in April and May 2024, the facility had a shortage of housekeeping staff, resulting in some residents not receiving regular cleaning services for extended periods—one resident went two weeks without housekeeping—and when services were provided, they were often incomplete or rushed. One resident's room accumulated food wrappers and clutter on the floor, and soiled incontinence briefs caused the room to smell strongly of urine during this period; the facility did not inform residents or families about the staffing shortage. The facility had committed to providing this resident with two housekeeping visits per week as part of their admission agreement.

Type B22 CCR §87411(a)
Verbatim citation text · 22 CCR §87411(a)

Based on interviews, the licensee did not comply with the section cited above in that there were not enough housekeeping staff employed to provide weekly housekeeping services per the admission agreement. This poses a potential personal rights risk to 110 of 110 residents in care.

Read raw inspector notes

Interviews with residents, including Resident 1 (R1) and facility management revealed that in April and May of 2024, the facility experienced a shortage of housekeeping staff resulting in housekeeping services being missed, with at least one resident experiencing two weeks between services. [Executive Director was provided with an LIC811 Confidential Names List to identify R1] According to residents, the facility did not provide any written or verbal communication regarding the housekeeping staff shortage. Interviews with the facility management confirmed that there was difficulty with hiring and maintaining housekeeping staff and during the months of April and May of 2024, the facility only had one full time housekeeper and the housekeeping supervisor was on restricted work duty. Those interviews with facility management also stated that maintenance staff were assisting housekeepers to clean resident rooms, which residents confirmed during interviews. Interviews with housekeeping staff revealed that when fully staffed, two housekeepers were assigned to split the facility’s four two-story buildings in assisted living, and one housekeeper was assigned to the memory care building. Staff estimated that a common daily workload was to clean approximately 5 to 10 resident rooms a day, which included: sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, dusting, taking out the trash, and general cleaning of the apartment’s living area, bathroom, and kitchenette. While housekeepers denied any difficulties with meeting the workload, all housekeepers interviewed by the Department were hired after April 2024 and the alleged timeline of the allegations. Residents stated in interviews that during April and May 2024, the housekeeping services that were provided often did not include all promised tasks, or the service was rushed. Interviews with R1 and housekeeping staff revealed that R1’s room would frequently contain items on the floor such as food wrappers, crumbs, and other clutter. Interviews with R1 and staff revealed that R1 used incontinence briefs and disposed of them in the trash in R1’s bathroom. Additionally, R1, housekeeping staff, and outside sources confirmed that during April and May 2024, soiled incontinence briefs caused R1’s room to smell strongly of urine. Review of the admissions agreement revealed that the facility also offered additional housekeeping services for a fee, and review of R1’s admission agreement addendum signed in 2019 revealed that R1 agreed to pay for an additional day of housekeeping services, totaling two housekeeping services a week. The Department has investigated the above-mentioned allegations and based on interviews, the preponderance of the evidence has been met, therefore, these allegations are deemed substantiated and noted on the attached LIC9099-D page.

Unsubstantiated
No findings
Inspector · Rebecca A Ruiz

Plain-language summary

A complaint investigation looked into how a resident tested positive for narcotics in February 2024 after becoming lethargic and requiring emergency transport to the hospital. The facility's medication records showed no narcotic medications were prescribed to the resident, narcotic supplies were properly locked and counted with no discrepancies, and staff interviews did not reveal how the resident could have obtained narcotics; a medical professional also noted that the Narcan injection given by paramedics could cause a false positive on drug screening. The department found no evidence to support the complaint.

Review of R1’s physician report dated January 2024 and pre-appraisal assessment records dated 1/27/2024 revealed that R1 did not have any memory impairment, had a diagnosis of heart disease, was confused, but able to follow directions and communicate needs, was not able to administer or store own medications and was not receiving hospice services. Review of facility progress notes for R1 revealed that in early February 2024, R1 was observed by facility staff to have a change in condition and was experiencing increasing confusion. R1 was transported to the hospital where R1 received medication and treatment for a urinary tract infection. On 2/21/2024, R1 expressed feeling drowsy to facility staff and staff notified R1’s spouse. R1’s spouse spoke to R1’s primary physician who requested that R1 be sent to the hospital. Facility staff called 911 and R1 was assessed to be lethargic and non-responsive by paramedics. Paramedics administered a Narcan injection and transported R1 to the hospital, where R1 was admitted and treated for a urinary tract infection. At the hospital, R1 tested positive for narcotics during urine analysis testing. R1 was discharged back to the facility on 2/23/2024 and was readmitted to the hospital on 2/24/2024 after displaying stroke-like symptoms. R1 was moved out of the facility on 2/27/2024 and review of R1’s death certificate revealed that R1 passed away on 3/5/2024 with the cause of death listed as cerebral atherosclerosis and unspecified heart failure. Additionally, R1’s death certificate did not list the presence of narcotics in R1’s urine, the Narcan administration on 2/21/2024, or any other conditions as having contributed to R1’s death. Review of R1’s medication record dated 2/29/2024 and interviews with facility staff revealed that R1 was not prescribed any narcotic medications and staff denied administering narcotic medications to R1. Interviews with facility staff revealed that all narcotic medications are stored in a locked cabinet in the medication room and are counted at the beginning of each shift by medication technicians. Interviews with staff and R1’s progress notes stated that R1’s spouse notified facility staff on 2/21/2024 that R1 had tested positive for narcotics and the Resident Care Director and medication technicians on shift conducted an additional narcotic medication count that day and did not discover any inconsistencies. Review of narcotic count records for February 2024 did not reveal any inconsistencies with narcotic medication counts for residents at the facility.

Additionally, the outside medical professional stated that the administration of Narcan and the potentially false positive narcotic result were not a direct cause of death for R1. Interviews with staff and outside sources and review of records did not reveal how R1 could have taken the narcotics. The Department has investigated the above-mentioned allegations and based on interviews and records review, the preponderance of the evidence has not been met, therefore, these allegations are deemed unsubstantiated.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Dang Nguyen conducted an unannounced Case Management - Incident visit. LPA was welcomed by, identified himself to, and discussed the purpose of the visit with Sales Director Jiovanni Anderson-Diaz and Business Office Manager Fina Tuisee. LPA also spoke via phone with Executive Director Jackie Banks during the visit. Today's visit was in response to an SOC341 Report of Suspected Dependent Adult/Elder Abuse, which licensee self-submitted to the CCLD San Diego Regional Office (received on 11/15/2023), involving Resident #1 (R1) and Staff #1 (S1), Staff #2 (S2), and Staff #3 (S3). [See LIC 811 Confidential Names List for a description of person identifiers used in this report]. During today’s visit, LPA performed a brief facility tour and welfare check on R1, verifying they were safe. LPA reviewed and collected copies of pertinent care and administrative/personnel records. LPA also interviewed R1 and relevant staff. According to R1’s latest LIC602 Physician’s Report (dated 01/18/2022): R1 was diagnosed with Dementia and relied on staff for help with personal care tasks, to include dressing and incontinence care. R1’s physician wrote that while R1 was confused/disoriented, they were still able to communicate their needs. During interview of R1, LPA observed: R1 could not recall the incident due to their baseline memory loss. However, R1 demonstrated the ability to converse. R1 made good eye contact, used appropriate social graces, quickly understood what was said to them, and quickly constructed full, coherent sentences in their replies to LPA. [CONTINUED ON LIC 809-C] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 [CONTINUED FROM LIC 809] According to records and staff interviews: Sometime around September 2023, S1 used their cell phone to film a video of themselves, S2 and S3, while the three staff were with R1 inside R1’s bedroom. The video, which was around four to five minutes long, depicted S2 providing incontinence care to R1. R1 was seen in the video to lay in bed bottomless (i.e., without pants or depends on). While S2 performed care on R1, S3 said multiple profanities, including a racial slur, towards S2. While these comments were not directed at R1 per se, R1 was in immediate ear shot and the racial slur S2 used coincided with R1’s actual race/ethnicity. On 11/11/2023, facility management received constructive knowledge regarding the existence of an inappropriate video, and obtained the footage the same day. S1, S2, and S3 were immediately suspended pending internal investigation. The incident was timely reported to CCLD, the San Diego Long-Term Care Ombudsman, and local police. While S3 denied knowledge of the video, S1 did acknowledge the video’s existence. S2 also acknowledged its existence, and further confirmed that the video accurately depicted what the three staff did in the room on the date in question. Personnel records showed: Licensee terminated the employment of S1, S2, and S3 based on the investigation findings, and on 11/12/2023 retrained its remaining staff on topics related to Resident’s Personal Rights. A preponderance of evidence exists to show that during the above incident, the actions and/or inaction of licensee’s staff undermined R1’s personal rights to both dignity and privacy. Also, per records review, and corroborated by manager interview: Licensee did not possess an updated LIC602 Physician’s Report (or equivalent medical assessment) completed within the last twelve (12) months for R1, which is a requirement for any resident diagnosed with Dementia. Three (3) deficiencies were cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22 (refer to the attached LIC 809-D). Plans of Correction were jointly developed with the licensee. An exit interview was conducted with Tuisee, to whom a copy of this report, the LIC 809-D pages, the LIC811 Confidential Names List, and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided during the visit.
