What inspectors found at Costa del Sol Healthcare
Tap a finding to read the summary. Each one is written from the government report linked under it.
November 2024: F624 (severity G) after a resident was discharged home without arranged home health services
The 2567 report states Resident 1 needed extensive help with daily care and mobility and had a physician's order dated October 30, 2024, for discharge home with a home health agency. According to the 2567 report, she was discharged on November 1, 2024, but the social services director did not send the referral to that agency until November 5. The social services director told inspectors she did not confirm the services before the discharge.
Inspectors found Resident 1 stayed in her wheelchair in her apartment entryway from November 1 to November 6. She told inspectors she slept in the wheelchair and urinated and had bowel movements in her brief because she could not get up on her own. A family friend said the resident's buttocks and perineum were red and raw. On November 6, emergency services took her to an acute care hospital, where she had severe swelling in both legs and was diagnosed with a venous stasis rash (skin damage from blood pooling in the legs).
Inspectors found Resident 2, who had chronic lung disease and an order for continuous oxygen, was discharged on October 18, 2024, without teaching about her oxygen and without staff checking whether her portable oxygen device worked. The facility was cited under F624 (preparation for safe transfer or discharge) at severity G.
February 2023: Class AA citation involving a resident's weight loss and poor food intake
According to the citation, Resident 1, a 61-year-old woman with one-sided paralysis after a stroke, swallowing difficulty and Parkinson's disease, was admitted on August 20, 2022. Staff told inspectors she was confused and needed help and prompting to eat and drink. CDPH found her weight fell from 193 pounds on September 13, 2022, to 180 pounds on October 10, a 6.7 percent loss in under a month. The facility last weighed her on November 1.
CDPH found her food intake records were incomplete, snacks or other foods were not consistently offered when she ate little or refused meals, and a food preference assessment was never done. The dietitian told inspectors she was not told of the poor intake. The director of nursing and a registered nurse said the physician was not notified of her continued poor intake and refusal of food and fluids from mid-October to November 23, and the physician confirmed he was not contacted.
According to the citation, on November 23, 2022, staff found Resident 1 unresponsive with no pulse. She was taken to an acute care hospital, where lab results showed critically high sodium and potassium, and she died that day. Her hospital weight was 154 pounds, 39 pounds below her September weight. CDPH issued a Class AA citation and assessed a $100,000 penalty. The citation was appealed.

Sexual abuse reports at Costa del Sol Healthcare
Cal Health Find lists 1 intake for Costa del Sol Healthcare from 2023 through October 30, 2026 that included an allegation CDPH classified as sexual abuse (0 from complaints and 1 reported by the facility itself).

| Year | Intakes with a sexual abuse allegation | Substantiated |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 1 | 0 |
Warning signs include bruising or bleeding in the genital area or inner thighs, a new genital infection, torn or stained underclothing, and a resident who suddenly fears a particular staff member or resists being bathed or changed. If you suspect sexual abuse, call 911 or local police first, ask that the resident not be bathed before a medical exam, and then report it to CDPH and the long-term care ombudsman.

What this record means for your family
California uses classes for state citations. Under Health and Safety Code section 1424 ↗, a Class AA citation is a Class A violation that CDPH determined was a direct proximate cause of a resident’s death. A Class A citation means CDPH found an imminent danger, or a substantial probability, that death or serious physical harm would result. Class B covers violations with a direct or immediate relationship to residents’ health, safety or security.
Federal deficiencies carry a letter from A to L. G, H and I mean inspectors found actual harm to residents; J, K and L mean immediate jeopardy, the most serious level. F600 is the federal rule that residents be free from abuse and neglect; F609 and F610 cover reporting and investigating allegations; F689 covers accidents and supervision; F686 covers pressure injuries.
Warning signs worth asking about: unexplained bruises or fractures, new bed sores, sudden weight loss or dehydration, a resident who becomes fearful or withdrawn around certain staff, and calls that go unanswered.
