THE COVE AT LA JOLLA

7160 FAY AVENUE, LA JOLLA, CA 92037

THE COVE AT LA JOLLA presents a picture where high marks in quality measures and staffing hours translate to residents receiving care around the clock, a rarity, and showing up with pressure ulcer rates less than half the national average. You can expect your mother to receive consistent, high-level nursing care, evidenced by registered nurse coverage at 1.25 hours per resident daily, well above national benchmarks.

VI AT LA JOLLA VILLAGE

4171 LAS PALMAS SQUARE, SAN DIEGO, CA 92122

VI At La Jolla Village boasts five-star ratings across the board, including health inspections and staffing, but the most striking detail is how they manage medications. While antipsychotic use is remarkably low at just 2.5%—meaning residents aren't being sedated for convenience—their registered nurse coverage is high, at 1.08 hours per resident daily, well above the national average of 0.78.
