Our read on Mission De La Casa

Mission De La Casa runs on a relatively steady workforce: 16.7% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, and nurse staffing at 3.95 hours per resident day, slightly above the national figure of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, but the bigger issue sits on the inspection side. The current record carries 35 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $51,753 fine and a one-star health inspection rating from CMS. Quality and staffing measures both score five stars, and the most recent inspection was August 2025. Strong daily care numbers are real, but the enforcement history is what a family should ask about directly.
