Inspection Report Summary for The Kensington Sierra Madre
Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent report dated September 30, 2025, which was perfect and found no evidence supporting allegations about safeguarding residents' confidential information. However, earlier reports revealed some serious issues, such as substantiated physical abuse by a staff member in June 2025 that led to immediate termination and a Type A deficiency, and improper medication administration without resident consent in May 2025, also resulting in a Type A deficiency. Other deficiencies involved failure to seek timely medical care for a resident with injuries in 2024, which led to a $500 fine, and safety risks like an unlocked medication cart and environmental hazards identified in prior years. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including allegations about management availability, facility disrepair, and false advertising. The facility’s record shows some improvement over time, with recent investigations finding no deficiencies after earlier serious findings.
