Inspection Report Summary for Brookdale San Jose
Brookdale San Jose, a licensed assisted‑living and memory‑care facility, has experienced a mixed pattern of compliance findings during 2021. In March, a tele‑case‑management visit identified a shortfall in the facility’s personal‑property inventory process for a resident (R1). The investigation confirmed that R1 did not receive an initial inventory upon admission, violating the Theft and Loss policy. A deficiency (LIC 809‑D) was cited and a corrective plan was due in early April, with appeal rights explained to the administrator.
In May, the same resident was the focus of a substantiated complaint involving a neglected pressure injury. The Department concluded that staff failed to observe, document, and report the injury in accordance with California regulations, constituting both an observation and reporting violation. A civil penalty of $500 was imposed in 2018, and on May 18, 2021, the agency issued an additional $9,500 penalty for a serious bodily injury, reflecting the severity of the failure to provide timely medical care. Concurrently, a May 6 case‑management visit reviewed staffing schedules, medication policies, and an upcoming medication audit, finding no deficiencies. The July 9 annual inspection confirmed that the facility had adequate COVID‑19 mitigation measures, a 70 % vaccination rate, and no current regulatory violations.
Overall, Brookdale San Jose has addressed specific lapses in resident property management and medical oversight, while maintaining satisfactory compliance in staffing, medication, and pandemic protocols. The repeated focus on a single resident’s care highlights a pattern of documentation and reporting gaps that led to substantial civil penalties. The latest inspection, however, suggests that the facility has maintained required standards in areas beyond the identified deficiencies, indicating targeted remediation efforts.
