Inspection Report Summary for Brandywine Mountain Ridge

The most recent inspection on November 20, 2025, did not identify any deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed mixed results, with a complaint investigation in March 28, 2023, citing deficiencies related to emergency transfer procedures, care monitoring, and documentation following a resident’s decline and subsequent death. Prior reports from February 22, 2021, noted issues with infection control practices during the COVID-19 pandemic, including screening, social distancing, and hand hygiene, while the November 17, 2020, inspection found the facility in compliance with infection control standards. Complaint investigations were substantiated in 2023 for care and documentation failures, but no enforcement actions or fines were listed in the available reports. The pattern suggests improvement in recent years, culminating in a clean report in 2025 after earlier citations.
