Allegation investigated: Staff hit resident
On April 16, 2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Marisela Garcia-Centeno conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to deliver findings related to the allegation in this complaint. LPA was greeted by Administrator Kathy Gabriel and informed her of the purpose of the visit. On February 18, 2026, Community Care Licensing (CCL) received a complaint alleging that staff struck Resident 1 (R1). Per the abuse report SOC 341 dated 02/18/2026, staff reported to the supervising registered nurse that R1 stated that on the night of 02/12/2026, a female staff member prevented R1 from watching television in the resident lounge, took the remote control, and “smacked” R1 in the face. The supervising registered nurse spoke with R1 at that time; however, R1 declined to provide details. The nurse documented no visible redness or bruising. On 02/17/2026, R1 was reassessed by a registered nurse and Administrator Kathy Gabriel, and no injuries or signs of distress were observed.

The CDSS license record checked August 2, 2026 lists Veterans Home Chula Vista with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory and hospice care; it does not list dementia / memory care and bedridden. 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 Veterans Home Chula Vista cost?
California's public licensing record does not include Veterans Home Chula Vista's monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in San Diego 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 Veterans Home Chula Vista accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?
Veterans Home Chula Vista 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 11 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. No substantiated complaints are on file.
