Key Review Excerpts

Don has had Parkinson’s for 16 years. He loves the food, the staff and the overall environment: he says it’s like being on a cruise ship 🚢.

Long-term resident's family · 2022★★★★★

I am so happy to report things have changed, and this is the absolute best place. The parent company took far too long to replace the former ED. Now, the new executive director has been around for a number of months, and he has consistently proven himself.

Local Guide/Resident family · 2025★★★★★

La Marea is beautiful both inside and out, with a dedicated team that genuinely cares about providing your loved ones with the highest quality of life.

The unannounced case management visit identified deficiencies related to staff background check requirements. Specifically, the facility failed to ensure that staff members had the necessary criminal record clearances, which constitutes an immediate safety risk to residents. A civil penalty of $500 was also assessed for the lack of criminal record clearance for one staff member.
