Brookdale Folsom has 12 serious and 4 minor state citations and 14 verified complaints since 2021 across 45 inspections, with the most recent inspection on January 13, 2026. The most serious substantiated finding, from September 2021, involved surveillance video confirming a staff member struck a resident on the face and pulled their hair; that staff member was immediately removed and facility-wide abuse training was conducted within days. A separate 2021 verified complaint found the facility failed to provide a resident's representative with written notice of a rate increase within the required timeframe. A March 2024 investigation found medication count discrepancies across 3 residents, with multiple medications recorded over or under documented amounts and missing start dates on several prescriptions, resulting in cited deficiencies. The facility had a different executive director by late 2025, with Shari Kranig listed during the December 2025 investigation compared to the administrator on record in 2021 and 2022.
