Inspection Report Summary for Brookdale Corona
Brookdale Corona, a 740‑type group home with a capacity of 60 residents, has undergone several unannounced visits by the California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division. The facility’s executive leadership has changed over time—from Maritza Lujan in 2021 to Brittany and then Brittney Martinez—yet the licensing record indicates consistent oversight and routine inspections focused on infection control and case‑management compliance.
In June 2021 and June 2022, the agency conducted annual infection‑control inspections. The reports found that Brookdale Corona maintained adequate hand‑hygiene supplies, disinfecting provisions, and a designated infection‑control lead. A comprehensive COVID‑19 mitigation plan was in place, and all PPE supplies were stored securely and out of residents’ reach. No deficiencies were cited in either inspection, reflecting the facility’s adherence to state infection‑control standards.
Contrastingly, two separate case‑management inspections in 2022 and 2023 highlighted significant compliance gaps. In May 2022, a failure to file required Special Incident Reports for a resident (R1) exposed the facility to potential liability for unreported psychological abuse or unexplained absences. The deficiency prompted a written plan of correction with a one‑month deadline. A month later, a similar lapse was identified: the facility had not initiated or documented home‑health wound‑care services for R1 following a Stage III pressure injury. This omission posed an immediate risk to R1’s health and violated residents’ rights to individualized care. The 2023 deficiency likewise required swift remediation under a strict due date.
Across the documented visits, a clear pattern emerges. Brookdale Corona consistently meets infection‑control obligations but struggles with timely reporting and execution of individualized resident care, particularly for complex medical needs. The repeated deficiencies in case‑management underscore a need for stronger documentation practices and proactive service coordination to safeguard resident safety and comply with Title 22 regulations. The facility’s leadership has been engaged in corrective actions, yet the recurrence of similar issues signals that systemic procedural improvements are still necessary to achieve sustained compliance.
