Inspection Report Summary for Brookdale Diablo Lodge

Brookdale Diablo Lodge (Facility #079200382) has undergone a series of unannounced inspections since mid‑2021. The July 28, 2021 visit was an infection‑control assessment that found the facility in full compliance with screening protocols, PPE availability, and food‑safety standards, and no deficiencies were cited. Subsequent inspections highlighted a few areas where corrective action was required.

During the November 18, 2021 case‑management review, an issue with the facility’s criminal‑record clearance records (S4) was identified. The missing linkage of the S4 record to the facility and its sister sites was cited as a deficiency under the California Code of Regulations, with a corrective plan due by November 24, 2021. The inspection also noted that the facility maintained adequate staff health‑screening documentation.

A September 15, 2022 infection‑control visit uncovered a safety lapse involving portable oxygen tanks in resident R1’s apartment that were not secured on stands, violating CCR 87618(b)(3)(E). The licensing evaluator required the administrator to obtain suitable stands and submit photographic evidence by September 19, 2022, a deadline that was met and a plan of correction documented.

The most recent January 19, 2023 health‑and‑safety inspection, prompted by a Priority 1 complaint, revealed several unlocked chemical and cleaning supplies in resident apartments. While these were noted as deficiencies, the evaluator dismissed the violation on January 20, 2023, citing that the items did not pose an immediate risk and were not easily accessible to residents.

Across all visits, the facility consistently demonstrated effective infection‑control practices, a robust mitigation plan, and compliance with basic operational standards. The recorded deficiencies have been limited to administrative record management, oxygen‑equipment security, and storage of cleaning agents—each addressed promptly with corrective plans or dismissals. The pattern suggests a facility that maintains high standards of care while quickly rectifying the relatively minor safety or documentation lapses that arise during routine inspections.
