This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 62% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 44 findings, above the CA average of 15.4. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Families considering Brookside Care Center should exercise extreme caution due to frequent reports of severe neglect, including failure to respond to medical emergencies and physical injuries from falls. While some individual staff members and specific periods of care have been praised for being kind, the facility faces significant criticism regarding broken heating systems, poor maintenance, and inadequate medical supervision.
