“Not on file” is not a no — approvals can be bed- or room-specific, so confirm current scope with the home on a tour. Where a number is shown it is the state’s own wording for how many residents the approval covers, not how many places are open today; where none is shown, the record simply does not state one.

Specific medical needs — insulin, oxygen, a catheter, an ostomy — aren’t in the state license record; ask the home directly. A feeding tube, tracheostomy, or advanced wound care usually needs skilled nursing →

Allegation investigated: Facility planned group activities without the use of proper PPE Facility failed to cohort covid positive residents from covid negative residents

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Joseph Alejandre made an unannounced visit to deliver the findings of the complaint investigation into the allegations listed above. LPA met with Executive Director Rosie Nakadaira and explained the reason for the visit. The investigation into the allegation, facility planned group activities without the use of proper PPE revealed the following. It was alleged that staff did not use PPE properly during a staff led resident outing and this led to many staff and residents testing positive for Covid-19. Staff interviewed reported that the outing on 11/21/2020 was a ride in the facility van where only residents who had tested negative for Covid-19 were taken on a brief ride to see the beach and then returned to the facility. Staff and the Administrator reported that both staff present during the trip wore masks and all the residents on the trip were given masks to wear but removed them during the field trip.

Is Newport Mesa Senior Living licensed?

Yes — Newport Mesa Senior Living is a licensed residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Costa Mesa (Orange County): California license #306004640, shown as licensed in the CDSS state record checked August 2, 2026, licensed for 40 residents. State records list 18 inspection and complaint documents since 2021; the most recent, a facility evaluation report dated June 16, 2026, appears in the inspection record on this page.

Can Newport Mesa Senior Living care for dementia, hospice, bedridden, or non-ambulatory residents?

From the CDSS license record, checked August 2, 2026.

The CDSS license record checked August 2, 2026 lists Newport Mesa Senior Living with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory, hospice care, and bedridden; it does not list dementia / memory care. A clearance that is not on file is not a “no” — it may simply be unrecorded, so if your family needs one of these, ask the home directly and confirm its current scope on a tour.

How much does Newport Mesa Senior Living cost?

California's public licensing record does not include Newport Mesa Senior Living's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Orange County typically runs $5,000–$7,500/mo and small board-and-care homes $4,000–$6,500/mo (market research compiled June 2026 — ranges, not quotes; California's 2026 SSI/SSP board-and-care payment standard is $1,626.07/month, of which $1,444.07 is the room-and-board portion paid to the home). Ask the home for its own rate sheet and what the base rate includes — or use the cost section at the top of this page.

Does Newport Mesa Senior Living accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

Newport Mesa Senior Living is not in the DHCS Assisted Living Waiver participant record we checked August 9, 2026 — that list covers only the state's ALW program, not a home's own payment policies, so ask the home directly about private Medi-Cal arrangements. The waiver pays for assisted-living care services (not room and board) at participating homes; every DHCS-listed home appears on our statewide Medi-Cal page.

What the state has logged

California has logged 20 state visits for this home as of August 2, 2026. These are the home's own counts, straight from that record — shown beside the statewide median for larger communities (16+ beds), computed across all 1,244 licensed homes of that size, because larger and longer-licensed homes naturally accumulate more visits and reports. They are facts, not a grade — a citation may be minor and since corrected, and an “unsubstantiated” complaint is not a finding of wrongdoing.
