Brookdale Brea

Brookdale Brea has received 2 Type A citations (serious violations affecting resident safety or care) and 1 substantiated allegation over its 19-year operating history, representing a mixed compliance record for this 110-bed community. The facility has undergone 5 routine inspections and 2 complaint investigations since licensing in 2007, with state inspectors examining areas such as resident care plans and medication management during these visits. Notably, the recent three-year period shows continued compliance concerns, with 1 Type A citation and 1 substantiated allegation occurring during this timeframe rather than representing older, resolved issues. The facility's substantiation rate of roughly 50% means that half of the investigated allegations were found to have merit by state regulators. Families should ask the community specifically about the nature of the substantiated allegation, what corrective actions were implemented, and how the facility has strengthened its oversight to prevent similar issues from recurring.
