The facility repeatedly failed state fire marshal inspections over an 8-month period (February through August 2025), with violations including non-functional fire doors, missing documentation for fire alarm testing, emergency power systems, and fire dampers - placing all 91-104 residents at risk of life-threatening fire hazards. The facility demonstrated a pattern of non-compliance across four consecutive failed inspections despite stating they believed issues were corrected. While the facility eventually achieved compliance by October 2025 and worked with the fire marshal throughout, the prolonged timeline and recurring failures indicate inadequate initial response and insufficient corrective action systems, though ultimate resolution was achieved.

The facility housed 104 residents in an environment not approved by the state fire marshal, creating serious fire safety hazards. This represents a systemic life-safety failure with recurring violations cited three times (February 7, May 20, and August 20, 2025). The facility's response was inadequate, failing to correct deficiencies after repeated citations over a 6-month period, resulting in escalated enforcement with a $900 civil fine for uncorrected and recurring violations.

The inspection identified moderate violations including medication administration issues (staff administering without proper training), inadequate documentation of care services, and failure to maintain required resident records. The facility responded appropriately by conducting investigations, providing corrective staff training, implementing policy reviews, and establishing monitoring systems to prevent recurrence. While the violations affected care quality and documentation standards, the facility demonstrated a good-faith effort to address deficiencies through systematic corrective actions.

The facility failed to complete required resident assessments and update service agreements for multiple residents, creating risk of unmet care needs. These are repeat violations previously cited in January 2025, demonstrating a pattern of non-compliance with assessment requirements. The facility has not adequately corrected the deficiencies despite prior citation, resulting in civil fines totaling $600. No evidence of systematic corrective action is present in the report, indicating an inadequate response to the original findings.

This residential care facility received two consecutive Fire Marshal inspections (November 2024 and January 2025) citing identical critical life-safety violations including complete absence of required fire drills for all shifts and quarters, multiple malfunctioning fire doors that won't latch, damaged sprinkler heads (bent, painted, still with shipping covers), and comprehensive failures across fire suppression systems, emergency power testing, and safety equipment maintenance. The facility's response was grossly inadequate - despite being given over two months between inspections, not a single violation was corrected, demonstrating either inability or unwillingness to address fundamental fire safety requirements that directly protect vulnerable residents. The repeat citation of all 13 violations with no documented corrective action, combined with the facility's continued inability to produce any required inspection records or conduct mandatory safety drills, indicates systemic management failure in maintaining basic life-safety protections.

The facility failed to properly implement nurse delegation protocols for insulin administration to a diabetic resident, with the Registered Nurse Delegator (RND) failing to conduct required weekly supervisory visits for four weeks after initial delegation and not directly observing staff during initial insulin administration. This violation created serious risk of improper insulin administration to Resident 6, a potentially life-threatening medication error scenario for an insulin-dependent diabetic. The facility's response was moderately adequate - they consulted external resources and reviewed regulations after the citation, though the RND and Executive Director initially demonstrated lack of awareness of fundamental delegation requirements under WAC 246-840-930. The follow-up inspection on 11/02/2023 found all deficiencies corrected and the facility in full compliance, indicating the facility ultimately implemented necessary corrective actions, though the initial knowledge gaps regarding critical safety protocols were concerning.
