Inspection Report Summary for Brookdale Chanate
Brookdale Chanate, a 740‑type assisted‑living facility in Santa Rosa, has undergone several unannounced licensing inspections since mid‑2021. The earliest case‑management visit in July 2021 addressed a resident’s allegation that staff had abused him. The licensing program analysts confirmed that the incident was reported per mandatory requirements and found no violations of the California Department of Social Services regulations. Subsequent inspections in October and December 2022 focused on two different resident‑care incidents: an observation of a staff member treating a resident with disrespect and a review of three deaths that occurred without hospice involvement. In each instance, investigators gathered statements and documentation but again reported no deficiencies.
The February 2022 annual inspection, which concentrated on infection control, revealed generally good compliance—mask signage, hand‑washing stations, and a three‑day supply of PPE were all in place. However, the analysts noted that staff temperature logs were incomplete for that day and suggested additional signage on social distancing and cough etiquette. Facility management was reminded of the requirement to document daily COVID‑19 screenings at shift start. The visit also covered other safety items: fire extinguishers were recently serviced but their tags were out of date, and fire‑alarm and carbon‑monoxide detectors had been inspected as scheduled. No formal deficiencies were cited, but follow‑up actions were requested for the fire‑extinguisher tags and the completion of a recent disaster drill review.
The March 2023 annual inspection continued the pattern of routine compliance checks. Analysts observed staff mask usage, measured water temperatures within regulatory limits, and verified that medication rooms were secured. The facility maintained an adequate food supply and had a documented emergency disaster plan. An area for improvement was the administrator’s expired certification, which had already been renewed and submitted for review. While the licensing staff noted the need to update certain documentation, no regulatory violations were identified. Across all visits, Brookdale Chanate demonstrates a consistent record of meeting baseline standards, yet recurring incident reports—particularly those involving resident deaths and staff conduct—highlight ongoing areas for attention in resident safety and staff training.
