Family Care - El Mar Home has recorded 3 minor state citations and 0 verified complaints since 2021 across 7 inspections, with the most recent annual inspection completed September 12, 2025. Among the findings from earlier inspections, a 2021 visit noted that administrator Russell Venanzi's certificate had expired on September 5, 2021, though Venanzi reported that renewal paperwork had been submitted and was awaiting processing from Sacramento. A 2022 inspection flagged full bed rails in use for a resident not then receiving hospice care and documented a regulatory review of the applicable rules with the administrator. Annual inspections in 2024 and 2025 found resident rooms clean and sanitary, with care plans and hospice documentation observed to be in order. A complaint alleging that staff restricted a resident from receiving visitors was investigated in early 2025; a review of facility visit logs and interviews with residents and family members led to the allegation being found unsubstantiated.
