Has Westmont of Encinitas received CCLD citations?
Yes. Westmont of Encinitas' CCLD record shows 0 Type A citations and 2 Type B citations in the current public window: 0 A / 0 B from inspections, 0 A / 1 B from complaint investigations and 0 A / 1 B from other visits.
CCLD issues a Type A citation for a deficiency that poses an immediate risk to residents' health, safety or personal rights, and a Type B citation for one that could become a risk if not corrected (often records, training or physical-plant issues). Read the report behind each one before deciding what it means.
What care is Westmont of Encinitas licensed to provide?
Per its CCLD record, Westmont of Encinitas is licensed for 101 residents and it holds a dementia approval, so it may admit and keep residents with dementia under Title 22 dementia-care requirements; it has a hospice waiver, so a resident can receive hospice care there instead of moving; it may accept non-ambulatory residents (people who could not leave the building unaided in an emergency).
The capacity note on the license reads: "Age range 60 and over. 101 non-ambulatory. Hospice waiver for ten (10)."
Even with these approvals, a California RCFE cannot keep a resident who needs 24-hour skilled nursing or has certain prohibited health conditions; that resident needs a skilled nursing facility.
Who is Westmont of Encinitas a good fit for, based on its license?
Based only on its CCLD record, Westmont of Encinitas fits residents with dementia, since the license carries a dementia approval (ask whether the unit is secured). It may also suit residents who want to stay in place at end of life, since it has a hospice waiver; people who use a wheelchair or could not evacuate unaided; people who want a mid-size community.
