Seacrest Rehab: Accident Hazard, Resident Harm - NJ
The accident, inspectors found, had already occurred.
The November 2025 complaint inspection at Seacrest, a nursing and rehabilitation facility at 1001 Center Street, found that the lapse caused actual harm to a resident. CMS rated the violation under F0689, the federal tag covering accidents and supervision failures.
When inspectors followed up by asking the director of nursing to produce the facility's policy on wheelchair safety, she said she would have to look for one. She wasn't sure, she told them, that the facility had such a policy at all.
It didn't. The administrator handed inspectors a Falls Risk Managing policy and confirmed that was everything the facility had on the subject. There was nothing specific to wheelchair propulsion, nothing requiring leg rests, nothing addressing what staff should check before moving a resident in a chair.
The director of nursing knew the right answer when asked directly. Staff knew, or should have known, the basic precaution. The facility just hadn't written it down, hadn't required it, hadn't built it into practice, and a resident was hurt because of it.
Seacrest has not publicly responded to the findings. For information on the facility's plan of correction, CMS directs the public to contact the nursing home or the New Jersey state survey agency directly.
