Inspection Report Summary for Brookdale College Place

Brookdale College Place's most recent inspection report dated April 1, 2025, showed no deficiencies, indicating improvement since earlier reports. Previously, on January 9, 2025, the facility was cited for medication management issues where a resident did not receive prescribed pre-surgery treatments, a recurring deficiency from 2022. The facility corrected those medication issues by the April 1 follow-up. In March 2025, a dispute resolution request related to the January deficiencies was denied due to a late submission. Overall, the facility appears to have addressed prior medication management problems successfully.

Earlier reports reveal some ongoing concerns with environment and safety. For example, a January 29, 2025, inspection found no deficiencies, but a January 17, 2025, complaint investigation cited unsafe carpet conditions in common areas, posing a risk of injury; this was a repeated deficiency from 2024. In 2023, medication errors were noted, including failure to provide prescribed medications timely and secure storage of expired medications, but these were addressed by mid-2023. Fire safety inspections in 2023 found multiple violations such as overdue sprinkler testing, smoke detector sensitivity testing, blocked fire doors, and unsecured oxygen cylinders, with some issues unresolved as of early 2023 but later corrected by July 2023. More recently, a December 2024 inspection found the facility failed to provide required resident furnishings like bedsheets and towels, requiring family members to supply these items. Food safety issues were also cited in 2024 related to staff not following diabetic diet requirements and pest control problems, with plans to correct these noted.

Fire safety inspections from early 2023 showed several serious violations including sprinkler system maintenance, fire door operation, and emergency lighting testing, with some issues persisting across multiple inspections before being resolved by mid-2023. A fire marshal inspection in February 2023 found a sprinkler system burst but no injuries occurred. The facility has had multiple citations related to medication management, resident care, environment/safety, and food safety over the past two years, with some improvements noted in recent months but no clear consistent trend of steady improvement or decline. Customer complaints led to some of the investigations, and deficiencies were substantiated in those cases.
