Inspection History
Inspection Report Summary for Brookdale Santa Monica Gardens
Brookdale Santa Monica Gardens, a 128‑bed non‑ambulatory residential facility, underwent four unannounced annual inspections over a four‑year span. In the 2021 and 2022 visits, Licensing Program Analysts found the facility to be compliant with Title 22 regulations and the CARE Inspection Tool requirements. Staff consistently demonstrated proper infection‑control protocols, maintained adequate supplies of personal protective equipment, and upheld rigorous documentation for medication administration and resident vaccination records. The assessments highlighted a clean, well‑furnished environment with well‑functioning kitchen, laundry, and activity spaces, and reported no deficiencies.
The 2023 inspection revealed a single administrative deficiency. An administrator was not present on site during the visit, and the evaluator noted that the facility had not documented that an administrator had met the California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 87406 certification or the recertification requirement in Section 87407. This shortfall was flagged as a potential risk to health, safety, or personal rights for residents. The evaluator also recommended that the business executive increase the variety of resident activities to enhance engagement. A plan of correction was requested, with a due date of July 3, 2023, and a potential civil penalty if the deficiency remained unresolved.
The 2024 report was only partially captured in the available text, indicating that a new evaluation was completed on June 26, 2024. While specific findings are not fully disclosed, the report’s structure mirrors previous visits, suggesting that the evaluator again reviewed infection control, environmental standards, medication records, and staff competencies. The presence or absence of deficiencies in this most recent visit cannot be confirmed from the excerpt provided.
Overall, Brookdale Santa Monica Gardens demonstrated a strong compliance record in 2021 and 2022, with robust infection‑control and facility maintenance practices. The 2023 administrative deficiency points to an area requiring immediate attention, while the 2024 assessment—though incomplete—will likely address whether corrective actions were implemented. Continuous monitoring and timely resolution of certification gaps remain essential to maintain regulatory compliance and safeguard resident well‑being.
