A recent inspection of Clairemont Healthcare & Wellness Centre in San Diego found dozens of deficiencies, several of which caused harm to residents, ranging from resident mistreatment to unsafely dumping residents into assisted living facilities. The inspection report reads like a manual on how not to provide good nursing home care to residents. The many deficiencies included:
using the facility “bioethics” committee to authorize discharges and to ignore resident rights
physical restraints
failure to provide needed care
misreporting residents’ health status
misuse of antipsychotic drugs
failure to provide adequate nutrition and hydration
failure to ensure regular physician visits to residents
