Plain-language summary

A routine inspection of Eldorado West Retirement Community on January 21-26, 2026 found three deficiencies: one staff member was not screened for tuberculosis until 126 days after being hired instead of within three days as required, placing all 88 residents at risk of exposure to a contagious respiratory disease; and two staff members did not have all required training and certifications to perform their duties, which exposed residents to risk of unmet care needs. The facility's administrator stated awareness of tuberculosis screening requirements but was unaware the staff member had not been screened on time.
