Plain-language summary
During an unannounced inspection from March 10–13, 2025, at Brookdale Nine Mile, inspectors found multiple medication administration errors involving residents with high blood pressure and heart conditions, including instances where blood pressure medications were given when vital signs fell below the thresholds set by health care providers, and one resident with a documented fall risk who experienced four falls between January and March 2025 without adequate follow-up monitoring and evaluation. Deficiencies were cited related to medication administration protocols and monitoring of residents at risk for injury.

Plain-language summary
I don't have enough information in the source text to write a summary. The document shows a complaint investigation was conducted, but the "Narrative" and "Conclusion/Action" sections are blank or unclear, so I cannot determine what was actually found or whether any violations were cited. To provide families with accurate information, I would need the specific details about what the complaint alleged and what the investigation discovered.
“The facility failed to timely report an allegation of sexual assault to law enforcement and the department. The alleged victim reported the incident to staff, but notification was delayed for two days, violating the requirement to report abuse and neglect.”

I don't have enough information in the source material to write an accurate summary. The narrative section is blank, and the outcome indicates either a citation was written or no citation was written, but doesn't specify what was actually investigated or found. To help families, I would need details about what complaint was received, what the facility was alleged to have done or failed to do, and what the inspection actually determined.

2023-09-01Complaint Investigation4 findings
Plain-language summary
Brookdale Nine Mile's complaint investigation from June through August 2023 found failed practices in two key areas: the facility allowed a resident with a history of assaulting staff to room with another resident, resulting in that resident being hospitalized with facial and neck injuries; and the facility failed to report and investigate allegations of missing money from residents' accounts as required by state law. The investigation also found that the facility did not properly notify a family member of a medication refill need in a timely manner, though hospitalization of that resident was not found to be caused by the medication delay, and a decision to not readmit a resident after hospitalization for assaultive behavior was within the facility's rights under state rules.
“Facility failed to report allegations of residents' missing money to the Department hotline as required. Administrator did not make mandatory reports regarding missing money reported by resident representatives.”
“Facility failed to investigate allegations of residents' missing money. The facility did not conduct proper investigations into complaints of missing valuables reported by residents and their representatives.”
“Facility failed to protect resident safety by allowing a resident with a history of assaulting staff to remain as a roommate of another resident, resulting in the roommate assaulting the resident causing facial injuries and bruising.”
“Facility did not maintain personnel records for two staff members as required by regulations.”
