We've worked with Luka and his family for years and they do a terrific job of providing care and creating a safe, dignified and warm home. They truly make it feel like they're you're family. Highly recommend their homes.

About La Costa Coastal Care

I feel very fortunate to have found such a great place for my loved one to live. The facility is bright, clean and welcoming and the staff is caring, attentive and friendly. Luka, the facility administrator, is exceptional. He communicates well about any needs or concerns that may arise, he works well with other agency caregivers that are involved and is present and involved in the care provided. I feel 100% confident that my loved one is well taken care of at La Costa Coastal Care.

La Costa Coastal Care is a fantastic facility ! The owner Luka and ALL care givers are very conscientious people who are very caring and thorough in all areas of board and care caregiving! Luka is always aware of ALL his clients needs and proactive on taking care of anything they may need! He knows how to manage medications and works very closely with the families and the doctors that are in charge of their patients. The facility is immaculate and very homey! He welcomes visitors at anytime and is always friendly and personable with everyone that comes to his facility ! I would HIGHLY recommend this facility to anyone and encourage them to stop by and see how great it is for themselves!

My sister was in an accident resulting in traumatic brain injury. The hospital social worker highly recommended La Costa Coastal Care for the 24/7 care she would need. After meeting Luka Subotic, the administrator, his staff, and checking the place, we knew this was the ideal place. He and his staff were very caring and patient with her ( she could and was difficult at times!) Luka kept me up to date on everything: her reactions to what we sent her, including sending pictures, any problems that came up, her medical reports, etc. He always answered any questions or worries the same day. I never worried about her, thanks to the staff, even at the peak of the covid chaos, the cleanliness of the place, and the excellent home cooked meals. I give La Costa Coastal Care 6 out of 5 stars!

I am extreamly grateful that i found La Costa Coastal care. My Mother was diagnosed with Parkinsons and was unable to care for my Father who was in late stages of Alzheimers. My sister and i visited several board and care facilities and were disappointed. My Mother's hospice nurse highly recommended Luka's House. Upon entering the house we knew that we had found the right spot. His home is very warm and welcoming. The bedrooms are large and tastfuly decorated. the family room is spacious with a large televesion for the residents. Most importantly the staff is careing and compasionate. All of my parents needs are met. communication between the staff, myself and Luka is excellent. i am able to visit my parents and it has been such a blessing to no longer worry about their saftey.
