Family Care - El Mar Home has operated nearly 22 years without a single Type A finding, the state's most severe citation class for issues affecting resident safety or care.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Track record — Across almost 22 years of licensure, the home has accumulated only 3 administrative (Type B) citations and zero of the more serious Type A findings, indicating no pattern of significant compliance concerns.
- Recent 3 years — The two most recent inspections and the one complaint investigation in the past three years turned up no citations of either class, consistent with the long-term record.
- Operating tenure — Nearly 22 years of continuous licensure gives this record substantial weight, and the consistency of clean inspections over that span is a meaningful signal of steady operation.
- Complaints — Only one complaint investigation has been filed in the home's entire history, and the allegations involved were not substantiated, suggesting complaint activity has been minimal and not borne out on review.
