The most recent inspection on file for Brookdale Kettering took place on March 27, 2026. Across the 7 inspections published by the Ohio Department of Health, surveyors cited 2 deficiencies.

A deficiency is a rule the surveyor found the facility was not meeting. Ohio inspects against two rule books at once, so most findings carry a federal code and an Ohio code for the same problem; each is counted once here, the way the state counts it. Correction dates are the state's confirmation that the issue was fixed.

This report reproduces what Ohio publishes and nothing else. Of the 7 inspections listed, the state publishes the surveyor's written findings for 2; for the other 5 it publishes only the date, the type of visit and the number of deficiencies - 5 of which found none.

What the surveyor found

Based on record review and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure transmission of fire alarm signal for third (3rd) shift fire drills as required. This had the potential to affect all 43 residents residing in the facility. The census was 43.

Review of facility's fire and disaster drill log revealed the facility conducted 3rd shift fire drills with silent alarms on 09/30/24, 12/31/24, 03/27/25, and 06/28/25. Further review of the fire and disaster drill log revealed there was no evidence of alarm transmission records for the 3rd shift silent alarms.
