Inspection Report Summary for Brookdale Fairhaven
Brookdale Fairhaven's most recent inspection report dated July 18, 2025, showed no deficiencies, indicating the facility met licensing requirements at that time. However, prior reports revealed ongoing issues, primarily related to fire and life safety compliance and food sanitation. In 2024, the facility failed to correct violations from three fire and life safety inspections conducted in March, April, and May, which led to a $600 civil fine in September 2024; these violations included untested sprinkler heads and failed smoke detector sensitivity tests, with some issues unresolved as of late 2024. Additionally, a complaint investigation in August 2024 confirmed the facility had not corrected these fire safety deficiencies, placing residents at risk. Kitchen sanitation problems were noted in June 2025, with unclean conditions and inadequate cleaning schedules, but the July 2025 follow-up found these issues corrected, showing improvement in food safety; fire safety issues have shown some progress but were serious and persistent through 2024.
