Inspection Report Summary for Kirkwood Orange

Kirkwood Orange consistently demonstrates strong compliance during required licensing inspections. The 2021 and 2022 unannounced visits reported no deficiencies; the facility maintained clean, well‑equipped resident rooms, an up‑to‑date COVID mitigation plan, adequate emergency supplies, and fully operational fire safety equipment. Staff vaccination rates were high, and daily temperature monitoring procedures were in place, underscoring the administration’s commitment to resident safety.

In the October 2022 health‑checks visit, the same standards were upheld. The evaluator noted functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, passable fire‑alarm inspections, and safe room configurations, including delayed‑egress doors and grab bars. The facility again held sufficient perishable and non‑perishable food supplies, and no immediate threats to resident health or safety were observed.

However, an incident on April 22, 2024, prompted an unannounced case‑management visit. The evaluator identified a medication error in which a resident received a double dose of a prescribed drug. This breach violated Title 22 Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations, resulting in a cited deficiency and the issuance of a formal plan of correction with a 5‑day due date. The incident highlighted a lapse in medication administration procedures, an area requiring corrective action.

A subsequent unannounced visit on August 21, 2024 was recorded, but the narrative details are not available in the provided excerpts. Across all inspections, Kirkwood Orange has shown a pattern of high compliance, with the 2024 medication error representing a rare but significant deviation that will shape future corrective actions and oversight.
