“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 →

Can La Costa Heights Living Care 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 La Costa Heights Living Care 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 La Costa Heights Living Care cost?

California's public licensing record does not include La Costa Heights Living Care'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 La Costa Heights Living Care accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?

La Costa Heights Living Care 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.

Allegation the state reviewedStaff mismanaged residents medication
State's findingUnfoundedThe state investigated and found the allegation to be false.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Daniel Pena conducted a virtual visit to the facility to deliver findings for this complaint investigation. LPA identified himself to Licensee, Mildred Napitupulu, explained the purpose of the visit and discussed the investigative findings. It was alleged that staff mismanaged Resident 1’s medications (LIC811 Confidential Names list provided to Licensee to identify R1). It was reported that the facility failed to administer one of R1’s medications for the period of June 1-3, 2020. During the course of the investigation, LPA conducted virtual visits to the facility due to COVID-19, reviewed facility, client and outside source records and interviewed facility staff, authorized representatives and outside agencies. Interviews with independent parties consistently stated that the facility was well run. These parties also said they have not encountered any problems with any of the services provided, including medication administration.

What the state has logged

California has logged 5 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 small board-and-care homes (6 or fewer beds), computed across all 5,773 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.
