Inspection Report Summary for Brookdale Oceanside
Brookdale Oceanside, a 740‑type group home located at 3524 Lake Blvd, Oceanside, repeatedly faced unannounced case‑management visits over the 2021‑2023 period. The Department’s licensing analysts—Kristina Ryan, Rebecca Ruiz, and Kayla Hilario—visited the facility following a series of incident reports: a resident altercation, a staff‑resident incident, suspected elder abuse, a resident elopement, and the death of a resident. Each visit involved a tour of the premises, review of resident and staff records, and interviews with directors and frontline staff. In every instance the analyst noted no regulatory deficiencies, and all staff presented current criminal‑background clearances. The reports consistently emphasize that the incidents were promptly documented and communicated to all relevant parties, and that the facility’s responses—including mitigation plans for infection control—met department expectations.
The pattern of repeated unannounced visits underscores a heightened scrutiny of the facility’s incident‑reporting and response procedures. While the incidents themselves varied—from resident conflict to staff misconduct to resident loss—Brookdale Oceanside’s management consistently provided documentation and complied with licensing protocols. The analysts’ notes that no immediate health or safety issues were observed, and that residents appeared appropriate for the facility, suggest a stable care environment despite the challenges. The facility’s census fluctuated slightly during this period, ranging from 92 to 98 residents, but remained within the 186‑resident capacity limit.
Additional visits in late 2022 and early 2023 focused on infection‑control compliance and a required annual review. These visits, both announced and unannounced, confirmed that the facility’s disinfection, testing, and PPE protocols remained adequate, and that staff received timely technical assistance. No deficiencies were cited during these visits, indicating that the facility maintained compliance with both state licensing standards and emergent public‑health guidance.
Overall, Brookdale Oceanside’s inspection history reflects a facility that, while encountering multiple resident and staff incidents, consistently demonstrates prompt reporting, adherence to regulatory requirements, and a lack of systemic safety or care deficiencies. The repeated, unannounced case‑management visits and technical assistance visits reinforce the Department’s commitment to ensuring ongoing compliance, while the absence of cited deficiencies suggests that the facility’s internal corrective processes effectively address identified concerns.
