Longhouse Bothell

The facility had a minor fire safety violation related to a missing hydraulic calculation plate on the sprinkler system, which is needed to verify minimum system demand flow rates during testing. The facility responded appropriately by scheduling corrective action, and a follow-up inspection on 11/3/2025 confirmed all violations were corrected. This represents a documentation and maintenance issue with no immediate safety impact, and the facility demonstrated timely compliance with corrective requirements.

The facility had four administrative violations related to background check timing (BGI completed 21 days late, FBGI 99 days late) and tuberculosis screening procedures (one staff screened 25 days late, another missing required documentation). The facility acknowledged all deficiencies, submitted correction plans within 10 days, and successfully corrected all violations by the follow-up inspection on 10/07/2025, demonstrating appropriate corrective action for procedural compliance issues with no direct resident harm.

This was a routine full inspection of Longhouse Bothell assisted living facility completed on 02/28/2024 that found no deficiencies. Since no violations were identified, the facility demonstrated baseline compliance with all regulatory standards during the inspection. The facility maintained adequate operations across all assessed areas, meeting state requirements for assisted living facilities. No corrective actions were required.

Initial inspection on 06/29/2023 identified six violations including missing documentation for required fire drills, emergency equipment testing, and a malfunctioning fire door. The facility failed first reinspection on 08/14/2023 with three violations remaining uncorrected, triggering a formal compliance letter requirement. However, by final reinspection on 09/26/2023, all violations were corrected and the facility received approval, demonstrating adequate but delayed corrective response over a three-month period.

The facility failed to obtain required signatures on Negotiated Service Agreements for all 4 sampled residents, violating documentation requirements that ensure residents receive agreed-upon services. A staff nurse indicated confusion about policies, stating she was incorrectly told annual assessments could substitute for NSAs. The facility acknowledged the deficiency but provided no evidence of corrective actions taken, investigation conducted, or plan to prevent recurrence beyond the attestation statement. Family members confirmed they were never asked to review or sign the agreements, indicating a systemic breakdown in compliance procedures rather than isolated oversights.
