FYI Safety Score

8.5 Good

El Norte Home Care Co. has 6 state citations and 2 verified complaints since 2022 across 8 inspections. A November 2025 deficiencies visit produced the most significant cluster of findings: the facility was cited for housing a resident on hospice services without the required state waiver, which accounts for the 1 serious citation on record. That same visit also documented 2 smoke detectors with dead batteries in resident bedrooms, spider webs on ceilings in resident rooms and the common area, and caregiver belongings stored in the den. A verified complaint from December 2022 confirmed staff were smoking inside the home. The 5 minor citations span the full inspection history. Annual inspections in 2024 and 2025 found the facility clean and in compliance, and the most recent inspection in January 2026 noted clean, odor-free bedrooms, unobstructed passageways, secured medications, and properly functioning bathroom safety equipment.
