Nonthaburi Nursing Home Under Investigation After Discrepancies Found
Authorities in Nonthaburi are investigating the Sermsuk Nursing Home after discovering it was operating with 81 beds despite being licensed for only nine.
On October 8, 2026, a multi-agency task force, including officials from the Department of Mental Health, the Health Service Support Department (HSSD), and local police, conducted an inspection of the Sermsuk Nursing Home located in Soi Rewadee 22, Nonthaburi.
The inspection was prompted by concerns regarding the facility's operations. During the visit, officials discovered a significant discrepancy: while the facility was officially licensed to operate with only nine beds, it was found to be housing 81 beds. Additionally, authorities noted the removal of a police 'red box'—a security checkpoint marker—from the front of the premises, the reason for which remains under investigation by local police.
For residents and those considering care services in the area, this case highlights the importance of verifying the licensing status of healthcare facilities. The HSSD confirmed that they had only authorized one location for this provider. Officials are now investigating reports of other potential locations operated by the same entity within the Rewadee area to determine if they are operating without proper permits. Further inspections are expected to confirm the full extent of the facility's operations and address the regulatory violations. As the investigation is ongoing, the public is advised to rely on official channels for updates regarding the facility's status.
