Crenshaw Nursing Home: Survey Results Hidden from Residents - CA
State inspectors visited the facility at 1900 S. Longwood Avenue on March 20 and 21, 2025, and documented what they found at the Annex Station just before 9 a.m. on the first day. A sign was posted on the wall inside the nursing station. It said that CDPH survey information was available upon request. The binder containing the actual survey results, the record of what state and federal inspectors had previously found wrong at the facility and what the facility had promised to fix, was not there. Not near the sign. Not around the nursing station at all.
Nearly an hour later, inspectors sat down with the Director of Nursing. The DON confirmed what the observation had already shown. All recertification survey results, the DON said, should have been in a folder at the nursing station, freely accessible to all residents. The DON acknowledged the binder had not been placed near the signage or anywhere around the station.
The DON also acknowledged what that meant. Residents who could not freely access the binder would have no way of knowing what previous inspections had turned up at their own facility, or whether the problems identified had ever been corrected.
The facility's own policy, dating to May 2011, is direct on this point. It states that a resident has the right to examine the results of the most recent survey conducted by federal or state surveyors and any plan of correction in effect. The policy further states the facility must make those results available for examination in a place readily accessible to residents and must post a notice of their availability. Crenshaw did the second part. A notice was posted. The results themselves were not accessible.
The distinction matters more than it might appear. A sign that says information is available upon request puts the burden on the resident to ask, to know who to ask, and to trust that whoever they ask will actually produce the document. Residents in nursing facilities are often elderly, often medically compromised, and frequently dependent on the very staff they would need to approach. Asking a nurse or an aide to hand over a binder documenting the facility's regulatory failures is not the same as walking up to a nursing station and reading it yourself.
Inspectors classified the deficiency as having the potential for minimal harm or potential for actual harm. The violation affected some residents.
What the survey binder would have shown those residents, had it been where it was supposed to be, is not detailed in this inspection report. What is documented is that the facility knew where the binder was supposed to be, had a written policy saying so, and still did not put it there.
The Director of Nursing, to their credit, did not dispute any of it. The binder was missing from its required location. The risk was real. Residents had been left without information they were entitled to have about the place where they live.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
Corrections: We strive for accuracy in everything we publish. If you believe any fact in this article is incorrect, please contact us with details, and we will review and correct it promptly.
