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.
“The facility failed to ensure 1 of 6 staff (Staff C) was screened for tuberculosis within three days of employment. Staff C was screened on 12/11/2025, which was 126 days after employment on 08/07/2025, placing 88 residents at risk of contracting an airborne and contagious respiratory disease.”
“The facility failed to ensure Staff E, a Certified Nursing Assistant, completed the required 12 hours of continuing education between their birthdays of 08/11/2024 and 08/11/2025. This placed 88 residents at risk of unmet care needs from staff with incomplete training.”
“The facility failed to ensure Staff A, a Licensed Practical Nurse, maintained a valid CPR and First Aid card or certificate. Staff A's required CPR and First Aid training expired in 12/2025. This placed 88 residents at risk of unmet care needs from staff with incomplete training.”
“The facility failed to protect 20 Medication-packaging cards containing resident identifiable health information from unauthorized access. Medication cards left unattended in a mobile medication cart in hallways allowed residents, non-nursing staff, and visitors to access confidential resident health records including names, medications, and pharmacy information.”
