Inspection Reports for Navita Residences Ventura
5603 Tull St, Ventura, CA 93003, CA, 93003
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent annual inspection on November 14, 2024, which showed the facility in good condition with no issues. However, a complaint investigation in September 2024 substantiated neglect related to a delayed medical response after a resident’s fall in March 2024 that caused a fractured hip and extended pain. This was the most serious finding, involving failure to promptly call 911 after the injury. Earlier reports, including annual inspections in 2023 and the original licensing visit in 2022, showed compliance with only minor, isolated issues that were addressed. The facility’s record shows improvement since the serious incident, with the latest inspection free of deficiencies.
