Inspection Report Summary for The Sentinel of Rockland
The facility underwent five inspections between August 1, 2021 and July 31, 2025, resulting in a total of 20 violations. Two of those inspections yielded no violations, as noted in the zero‑violation reports dated “Report Issued: January 23, 2024” and “Report Issued: July 31, 2020.” The remaining three inspections identified a combined 20 violations, indicating a pattern of occasional compliance issues but also periods of full compliance.
The most extensive survey was conducted on “Report Issued: November 15, 2024,” where 12 violations were recorded. These violations spanned several regulatory categories: resident protections (487.5 (f) (10‑11)), resident services (487.7 (f) (1‑4) and 487.7 (f) (11) (x)), food service (487.8 (c) and 487.8 (e) (1)), records and reports (487.10 (c) (1‑3)), environmental standards (487.11 (f) (19), 487.11 (h) (9‑10,19), 487.11 (j) (1‑3), 487.11 (k) (8)), and disaster and emergency planning (487.12 (f) and 487.12 (j)). This distribution highlights the facility’s most frequent areas of non‑compliance, with resident services and environmental standards appearing most often.
No enforcement actions were taken against the operator during the reporting period, as indicated in the enforcement section. The absence of enforcement actions, combined with the two zero‑violation inspections, suggests that while the facility has experienced regulatory deficiencies, it has not faced formal corrective measures from the Department of Health.
