What inspectors found at Olympia Convalescent Hospital
Tap a finding to read the summary. Each one is written from the government report linked under it.
May 2026: Class AA citation and F689 (severity J) after a resident at risk for elopement left the facility and later died
On April 21, 2026, CDPH made an unannounced visit to investigate a complaint and facility-reported incident about a resident's elopement (leaving without staff knowing) and death. According to the citation, Resident 1 was an 84-year-old man admitted on April 17, 2026, who could not make medical decisions. On April 18 he wandered and repeatedly tried to leave, but the facility's elopement assessment that day rated him a low probable risk, which RN 2 told inspectors was inaccurate.
CDPH found the facility did not identify the sliding doors in his room and seven other rooms as possible exit routes, and did not install alarms on two back patio gates. According to the citation, staff did not carry out his elopement care plan, including evaluating him for continuous visual observation, and did not strengthen interventions as his exit-seeking increased.
According to the citation, Resident 1 left the facility between 7:54 and 8:30 a.m. on April 19, 2026, and staff did not find him. At about 11 p.m., an unidentified person called 911 after finding him on the street. Emergency responders reported he had been robbed, beaten and set on fire. Paramedics found him unconscious with burns to his face, scalp, neck, shoulders and back. He died at a hospital on the morning of April 20. CDPH issued a Class AA citation with a $120,000 penalty, and the federal survey cited F689 at severity J.
September 2025: Class A citation and F689 (severity G) after a resident's leg was caught in a bed frame during a transfer
On August 11, 2025, CDPH made an unannounced visit to investigate a facility-reported incident about an injury to Resident 1. According to the citation, Resident 1 was a woman with paralysis and weakness on one side of her body, muscle weakness, poor coordination and aphasia (trouble understanding or forming language). Her cognition was severely impaired and she was totally dependent on staff for daily care. Her care plan said she needed two staff and a Hoyer lift (a mechanical lift) to move between a chair and the bed.
CDPH found that at 8:50 a.m. on July 26, 2025, RNA 1, a restorative nursing assistant, moved Resident 1 from a shower chair to her bed by himself, without the Hoyer lift or a second staff member, and did not follow the facility's transfer policy. According to the citation, her left lower leg was caught inside the metal bed frame. A change of condition note said she became combative and moved her legs during the transfer.
According to the citation, staff found bluish discoloration, skin trauma and slight swelling on her left shin, and she reported pain of 3 out of 10. She was sent to a hospital and diagnosed with multiple broken bones of the left leg. The 2567 report states these included fractures of the tibia and fibula (the two lower leg bones) and of the outer ankle bone. CDPH issued a Class A citation with a $25,000 penalty, and the federal survey cited F689 at severity G, meaning actual harm.
Complaints against Olympia Convalescent Hospital
| Year | Intakes | Complaints | Facility-reported incidents | Substantiated (at least one allegation) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 6 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
| 2024 | 9 | 2 | 7 | 3 |
| 2025 | 23 | 4 | 19 | 4 |
| 2026 | 21 | 6 | 15 | 2 |
Cal Health Find lists 59 complaint and facility-reported incident intakes for this facility from 2023 through October 30, 2026. CDPH substantiated at least one allegation in 11 of them. 17 intakes involved an allegation in CDPH’s abuse category, and 3 of those had an abuse allegation substantiated. An intake can contain several allegations; “unsubstantiated” means CDPH did not find enough evidence, not that nothing happened.
Sexual abuse reports at Olympia Convalescent Hospital
Cal Health Find lists 2 intakes for Olympia Convalescent Hospital from 2023 through October 30, 2026 that included an allegation CDPH classified as sexual abuse (0 from complaints and 2 reported by the facility itself). CDPH substantiated a sexual abuse allegation in 1 of them. Federal rules require a nursing home to report an abuse allegation to the state within two hours, so a facility-reported incident means staff raised the allegation, not that it was proven. “Unsubstantiated” means CDPH did not find enough evidence; it does not mean nothing happened.
| Year | Intakes with a sexual abuse allegation | Substantiated |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 1 | 0 |
| 2026 | 1 | 1 |
Warning signs include bruising or bleeding in the genital area or inner thighs, a new genital infection, torn or stained underclothing, and a resident who suddenly fears a particular staff member or resists being bathed or changed. If you suspect sexual abuse, call 911 or local police first, ask that the resident not be bathed before a medical exam, and then report it to CDPH and the long-term care ombudsman.

| Total nursing hours per resident per day | 4.16 | 4.32 | 4.54 |

Olympia Convalescent Hospital lawsuits and criminal cases
We searched California Attorney General and Los Angeles County District Attorney announcements and news coverage for Olympia Convalescent Hospital and its licensee and found no public criminal case or civil lawsuit we could tie to this facility as of October 30, 2026. Many civil cases settle quietly or are not covered by the press, so this is not a complete court search.
What this record means for your family
California uses classes for state citations. Under Health and Safety Code section 1424 ↗, a Class AA citation is a Class A violation that CDPH determined was a direct proximate cause of a resident’s death. A Class A citation means CDPH found an imminent danger, or a substantial probability, that death or serious physical harm would result. Class B covers violations with a direct or immediate relationship to residents’ health, safety or security.
Federal deficiencies carry a letter from A to L. G, H and I mean inspectors found actual harm to residents; J, K and L mean immediate jeopardy, the most serious level. F600 is the federal rule that residents be free from abuse and neglect; F609 and F610 cover reporting and investigating allegations; F689 covers accidents and supervision; F686 covers pressure injuries.
Warning signs worth asking about: unexplained bruises or fractures, new bed sores, sudden weight loss or dehydration, a resident who becomes fearful or withdrawn around certain staff, and calls that go unanswered.
