Inspection Report Summary for Brookdale Redwood City

Brookdale Redwood City, a 740‑type facility with a 130‑bed capacity, received a series of unannounced evaluations from the California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing (CCLD) during 2021–2023. The inspections, conducted by Licensing Program Analysts, focused on case‑management issues related to COVID‑19 reporting, resident safety, and medication oversight, as well as an annual required inspection of infection‑control and fire‑safety practices. The administrative staff involved ranged from Executive Director Grace Ndomo to Administrator Monica Ceron Tapia, reflecting a continuity of leadership throughout the review period.

The most frequent safety concern involved an unauthorized individual who entered the facility through a side exit in August 2022, subsequently causing disturbances in resident rooms. Video evidence confirmed the breach, and the incident prompted a police response and a subsequent police report, though no citations were issued. A separate break‑in in March 2023 saw a suspect circumvent a fence to burglarize a resident’s independent‑living room; again, police were notified and video footage supported the report, with no injuries and no further thefts reported. In May 2023, the LPA addressed a complaint concerning the facility’s medication‑management policy. A resident who had previously self‑administered medications required facility‑handled medication after a medical decline, prompting the review of physician documentation and facility policy, and highlighting the facility’s capacity to adjust care plans and fee structures accordingly.

Throughout the visits, the LPA identified areas for improvement such as timely incident reporting, maintaining an up‑to‑date temperature‑log for residents, and enhancing signage related to COVID‑19 protocols. The facility complied with all fire‑safety and environmental requirements noted during the annual inspection, including functioning sprinklers, extinguishers, and adequate lighting. No citations were imposed in any of the visits, and the reports recommend the submission of updated administrative documents by early February 2023. The consistent communication between the facility and the CCLD indicates ongoing efforts to meet licensing standards and protect resident safety.
