Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on June 16, 2025, found Bridgewater Healthcare Center in compliance with applicable federal and state regulations and identified no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern, with some citations related to resident care, medication administration, and life safety code issues, including staff training on fire suppression systems and corridor obstructions. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for one in March 2025 where staff were cited for not properly using the kitchen fire suppression system, and another in December 2023 involving deficiencies in call light response, colostomy care, and medication documentation. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed prior life safety deficiencies and shows improvement in recent inspections.
