Key Review Excerpts
“I stayed at Laguna Honda Rehab after a big surgery and I was given the best possible care!The Nurses were extremely helpful and kind!”
“In 2014 to 2015 I spent 3 plus months at this wonderful hospital recovering from a broken back, broken ankles etc. The staff cared. The doctors gave all the attention I needed. The nurses and nurse aids helped me with everything. They have a wonderful pool that I used for physical therapy and occupational therapy. The farm has goats and I was able to visit it on a wheel chair and later on a walker to get aroun”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility has serious recurring problems with resident protection from abuse and neglect, with families filing multiple complaint reports triggering federal investigations. The three most problematic areas are protection from abuse/neglect (with repeated violations including failure to properly report incidents), care planning deficiencies, and extensive fire safety violations including sprinkler system maintenance issues. While most deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated violations in critical safety areas, particularly the ongoing sprinkler system problems and multiple abuse protection failures, suggests persistent systemic issues that warrant careful consideration before placement.
