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

Vanessa Care Home Ii

1640 Eleanor Drive

San Mateo, CA 94402

6 beds • Est. 1987 (38 years)


FYI Safety Score

4.1 Poor

34 state citations (9 serious, 25 minor) and 4 verified complaints across 8 inspections since 2022. In January 2025, a follow-up visit confirmed that first-aid and CPR certificates submitted for 4 staff members had been falsified, resulting in citations; that visit also formally issued deficiencies from a September 2024 inspection that had gone uncorrected. A November 2024 complaint investigation found indoor temperatures ranging from 63 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit, below the state-required minimum of 68 degrees, with residents observed wearing vests, flannel shirts, and sherpa jackets indoors to stay warm. A November 2023 annual inspection cited door alarms that were off and non-functional, sharps and toxins left unlocked and accessible to residents, and expired food in the refrigerator. The most recent inspection in October 2025 noted appropriate sharps storage, no fire safety hazards, and temperatures maintained within acceptable range.
