Inspection Report Summary for Brookdale Charleston Gardens
The most recent inspections on November 5, 2025, included two complaint investigations that were both unsubstantiated with no deficiencies cited. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to housekeeping and maintenance, medication administration and documentation, staffing levels and training, and care planning, especially in the assisted living and memory care units. Several substantiated complaints involved failures in resident care documentation, medication management, and inadequate housekeeping, with some issues persisting over multiple years but generally addressed through follow-up inspections and plans of correction. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s recent clean inspections suggest improvement following a history of mixed compliance with regulatory standards.
