Brighten Cottages - Parkcrest

6 beds • Est. 2019 (6 years)


FYI Safety Score

7.5 Fair

7 state citations (1 serious, 6 minor) and 0 verified complaints since 2021 across 5 inspections. The 1 serious citation arose from an October 2024 deficiency visit, when inspectors found a bedridden resident housed in bedroom #6 rather than bedroom #5, the only room with fire clearance for bedridden occupancy. Administrator Jose Umana had initially told the inspector the resident was not bedridden before correcting that statement by email the following day; the misplacement was cited as an immediate health and safety risk and carried a $500 civil penalty. The inspection records reflect a change in administrator between the 2023 and 2024 cycles, with Elsa Roman listed in 2023 and Jose Umana in the role from 2024 onward. No complaints have been filed against the facility across the full inspection period. The most recent annual inspection occurred in October 2025.
