Inspection Report Summary for Sunrise of San Mateo
Most inspections found no deficiencies, with clean reports in September 2023, March 2024, and the most recent visit on June 24, 2025, which had no deficiencies. The April 3, 2025 annual inspection cited two deficiencies involving a staff member’s missing criminal record clearance and insufficient non-perishable food supplies for emergency preparedness, both posing risks but no fines or enforcement actions were listed. Earlier complaint investigations in late 2021 found some substantiated issues related to incontinence care and sanitation in a resident’s room, but other complaints were unsubstantiated. Since then, the facility appears to have improved, correcting the food supply issue by June 2025 and maintaining safety features. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and recent inspections show a positive trend toward compliance.
