Most inspections found deficiencies, but the facility showed improvement over time with the most recent report on February 20, 2025, finding no deficiencies and a clean, well-maintained environment. Earlier reports cited several serious issues, including immediate health and safety risks from unsecured toxic chemicals, unlocked scissors, and an unlocked pool gate, as well as operating beyond licensed capacity without proper clearance. Civil penalties were issued in 2023 for safety violations and in 2024 for a staff fingerprint clearance deficiency. Other deficiencies involved missing or outdated client documentation, but no complaints were filed or substantiated during these inspections. The overall trend suggests the facility addressed prior concerns and improved compliance by the latest inspection.
An unannounced annual inspection was conducted to ensure compliance with Title 22 regulations at the Veneman Care Home facility.
