Inspection Report Summary for Novellus Clairemont
Most inspections found no deficiencies, reflecting generally good facility conditions and compliance. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, primarily involving staffing shortages that affected medication administration and resident care, as well as a failure to maintain a comfortable dining room temperature. The most serious issues included staff neglect leading to a resident’s hospitalization for sepsis and operating beyond the licensed scope by retaining a resident with dementia. The most recent report from October 22, 2025, cited three deficiencies related to staff training, room assignments, and licensing conditions, indicating some ongoing areas needing attention. Overall, the facility showed improvement in staffing since mid-2024, but some care and operational issues persisted through the latest inspection.
