Inspection Report Summary for Brookdale Sunwest

Brookdale Sunwest, a 740‑type assisted‑living facility in Hemet, California, has undergone a series of unannounced annual inspections and a separate complaint investigation that together paint a picture of generally strong compliance and a single documented lapse in staff conduct.

In November 2021, an inspection focused on infection control found no deficiencies: the facility maintained adequate hand hygiene supplies, a clear COVID‑19 monitoring protocol, and a designated infection‑control lead. The same year, a separate complaint investigation into a staff member’s mishandling of a resident was substantiated. The investigation revealed that the staff member had grabbed a resident’s arm while attempting to retrieve another resident’s purse, causing bruising. The agency’s records review confirmed the resident’s injury, and the employee was terminated two days after the incident. This incident led to a formal substantiation of the complaint and underscored the importance of adherence to resident‑care guidelines.

A subsequent inspection in November 2023 expanded the review to the Assisted Living and Memory Care Unit, the kitchen, dining area, medication storage, and emergency preparedness. The evaluator noted that the physical plant, resident rooms, and bathrooms met regulatory standards, that food supplies met the required perishable and non‑perishable inventory, and that medication administration was recorded electronically with appropriate lockout controls. The facility’s fire, smoke, and carbon‑monoxide detection systems were operational, and the staff possessed current criminal clearance and first‑aid credentials. No deficiencies were cited.

The most recent unannounced visit in late November 2024 confirmed continued compliance across all examined areas. The evaluator observed that the facility maintained updated emergency and disaster plans, that all exits remained clear, and that fire‑extinguishing equipment had been inspected within the previous month. Staff documentation, training records, and resident files were complete, and the kitchen and medication rooms remained secure. The repeated absence of deficiencies over three consecutive annual visits suggests that Brookdale Sunwest has effectively addressed any prior concerns and has established a consistent, high‑quality environment for its residents.
