About

Licensed home health agency at 2223 Avenida De La Playa, Suite 120, La Jolla, CA 92037, in the La Jolla Shores commercial strip. Unlike non-medical agencies such as TheKey on Fay Ave, La Jolla Nurses holds a California Home Health Agency license enabling its RN and LVN staff to administer medications, manage IV lines, perform wound care, and handle injections — the only La Jolla-based agency with that clinical scope. Founded by Lorraine Salerno in 1977 and now led by President Brittnei Salerno (past Chair of CAHSAH's Board of Directors), the agency is the oldest private-duty home care provider in San Diego County. Services span skilled nursing, post-operative recovery, dementia care, respite care, and concierge-level private-duty assignments. Repeatedly voted Best Senior In-Home Care Provider by the San Diego Union-Tribune and La Jolla Light readers. Open 24/7, no answering service — direct staff access at all hours. Seniors discharged from Scripps Green Hospital or Scripps Memorial coordinate their hospital-to-home nursing transition directly through the agency's intake team.
