La Jolla Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

La Jolla Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits in La Jolla, California, just minutes from the beach, where residents can catch ocean views and the ocean breeze, and the place offers 161 certified beds for both short-term and long-term stays, with a strong focus on skilled nursing and rehabilitation services, and they've got nurses, doctors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, respiratory therapists, and activity directors working together, plus private and semi-private rooms with Wi-Fi, pain management, and hospice care available if needed. The staff there tries to help each resident reach the highest level of independence they can, using state-of-the-art medical equipment and carrying out lots of therapy-physical, occupational, and speech therapies are all offered-while the recreational program brings movies, teaching classes, religious programs, and arts and crafts to keep people active and engaged, and you'll find caregiver training, discharge planning, infusion therapy, and 24-hour skilled nursing care, with a daily schedule that tries to fit each resident's needs. The center is managed by Lance Hassell, has been under his control since May 2018, and runs under Covenant Care California, LLC, but has several other owners too, including Centre Capital Investors V, LP and Covenant Care, LLC, and it operates as a privately held place with 51 to 200 employees on staff. Even though they try for high quality and compassion, the facility has seen 48 total documented deficiencies including infection and resident rights issues, and even had delays in inspections-its last standard one happened over two years ago instead of the usual every 9 to 15 months. The nurse hours per resident per day sit at 3.75, which is below the state average of 4.5, and the nurse turnover rate is at 49.0%, higher than the state's 40.0%, and there have been citations for not always respecting residents' rights or pharmacy standards. The team says they're dedicated to providing a safe, respectful, and supportive place, serving fresh meals in an open dining room, and greeting residents with kindness, focusing on both recovery and comfort, and everything's done with the motto "Family Serving Families," aiming to meet the needs of each individual living there.
