Rating & safety How to read thisThese are the state’s own categories. Type A: problems that, if not corrected, put residents’ health, safety or rights at direct and immediate risk. Type B: problems that could become a risk without correction, or record-keeping problems that affect care. Both must be corrected. Complaints the state didn’t confirm are shown but never counted against the community.

My aunt was in need of a place where she could find some peace and camaraderie. The experience at Mission Villa for our family, near and far, has been that of honesty and integrity. Living in the ethos of beautiful Santa Barbara with its fresh delicious food, pleasant weather, and kind people has made Mission Villa a new home base. Thanks so much to the team there!
