Levindale Hebrew: Drug Storage Violations - MD
Federal inspectors cited Levindale Hebrew Ger Ctr & Hospital on West Belvedere Avenue following a complaint inspection on November 18, 2025, for failing to ensure residents could properly access their own personal records. The violation, tagged F0578, affected a small number of residents and was classified at the lowest level of harm.
The details that emerged were thin but telling. An ombudsman, identified in inspection records only as Ombudsman #25, told an inspector two days after the initial survey that a social worker at the facility had previously told the ombudsman that she or he was the designated social worker for residents. The ombudsman's account surfaced during an interview on November 20 at 10:15 in the morning.
The surveyor had already flagged concerns with the facility's administrator and director of nursing on the afternoon of November 18, at 2:23 p.m.
The inspection report does not describe what specific records residents sought, how long any delay lasted, or whether any resident was ultimately harmed by the failure. The classification of minimal harm or potential for actual harm suggests inspectors believed the situation had not yet caused measurable injury, but that it could.
Levindale is a long-term care and hospital facility operated on West Belvedere Avenue in northwest Baltimore. The inspection was triggered by a complaint rather than a routine survey cycle, meaning someone had already raised concerns before inspectors arrived.
The facility's plan of correction was not included in the inspection documents reviewed. Residents or family members seeking information about the facility's response were directed to contact the nursing home or the Maryland state survey agency directly.
For the residents whose records were at issue, the question of who was responsible for getting them what they needed had apparently required an ombudsman to sort out.
