Inspection Report Summary for Brookdale Carmel
The most recent inspection on May 13, 2025, found the facility in compliance with no deficiencies cited during follow-up visits related to multiple complaint investigations. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving resident neglect, including failure to properly assess and treat pressure wounds, inadequate supervision leading to resident elopement, and incidents of physical abuse and unsafe transfers. Several complaints were substantiated, such as neglect resulting in resident injuries and abuse confirmed by video evidence, which led to staff termination and corrective actions. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license suspensions were listed in the available reports, and most complaint investigations following the substantiated cases were corrected or found to have no deficiencies. The recent clean findings suggest improvement in addressing prior issues related to resident care and safety.
