Levindale Hebrew: Medical Records Violations - MD
The inspection, conducted on November 18, 2025, in response to a complaint, documented a deficiency under F0578, which covers a resident's right to access and review their own personal and medical records. Inspectors rated the harm level as minimal, affecting a small number of residents.
The surveyor flagged the issue that afternoon and walked concerns directly to the facility's Administrator and Director of Nursing at 2:23 p.m.
Two days later, on November 20, an ombudsman identified in the report as Ombudsman #25 told the surveyor what had happened. The social worker, identified only as SWD #24, had previously told the ombudsman that she was the designated social worker for residents seeking their records. That conversation was enough to document a breakdown in how the facility communicated residents' records rights.
The report does not describe any resident who was turned away from their records or denied access. It does not name any resident who filed the underlying complaint. What it captures is a narrow but documented gap: the person residents were told to contact, and whether that contact was set up in a way that actually protected their right to follow through.
Levindale, located at 2434 West Belvedere Avenue, is a long-term care and hospital facility serving Baltimore's Jewish community. The November inspection was triggered by a complaint, not a routine survey cycle. The deficiency was one of several cited across the full 23-page report.
For residents in long-term care, the right to see their own medical records is not a procedural formality. It is often how families track whether a wound is healing, whether medications have changed, or whether something went wrong and no one said so.
