Introducing the FYI Safety Score — every facility rated on state inspection data

Sunshine Home Care

2428 West Avenue

Fullerton, CA 92833

6 beds • Est. 2006 (19 years)


FYI Safety Score

5.1 Poor

18 state citations (7 serious, 11 minor) and 0 verified complaints across 8 inspections since 2022. The most significant violations were documented in April 2022, when inspectors found a converted garage being used as a staff room without proper authorization, an unapproved outdoor makeshift kitchen, cluttered debris around the property, and multiple expired food items in the pantry and freezer. A civil penalty was assessed following the April 2024 inspection, where additional deficiencies were cited across resident and staff records. The 6 complaints filed against the facility were all investigated and found to be unsubstantiated, including allegations of untrained staff administering medication and residents being fed rotten food, both of which inspectors found no evidence to support. The most recent inspection in April 2026 and the prior April 2025 visit produced no cited violations, with residents observed relaxing comfortably and the facility meeting all inspection requirements.
