Cascade Place

A power outage occurred from 5pm on 10/25 to 10:30am on 10/26, lasting approximately 17.5 hours. The facility responded appropriately by implementing fire watch protocols with documented rounds, bringing in extra staff, providing residents with flashlights and whistles for safety, delivering meals to rooms, and supplying extra blankets. No injuries occurred, no fire safety violations were observed, and the facility's proactive response during the infrastructure failure demonstrated good emergency preparedness. The Fire Marshal's follow-up inspection confirmed proper handling of the incident with no code violations found.

Facility failed a second fire marshal inspection on 08/19/2025, indicating persistent fire safety deficiencies affecting 37 residents. Fire safety violations represent serious life-safety risks with high potential for catastrophic harm. The facility acknowledged the deficiencies and is working to correct them, demonstrating awareness and some corrective effort, though the failure of a reinspection suggests delayed or inadequate initial response. Citations were issued for non-compliance with fire marshal regulations.

Cascade Place had serious and persistent fire safety violations across multiple inspections (Feb-Aug 2025), including inoperable fire alarm components, inadequate sprinkler system documentation, missing emergency lighting tests, improper oxygen storage, and incomplete fire drill records. The facility demonstrated a moderate response by correcting several violations between inspections (unlisted heater, emergency lighting, medical gas storage) and ultimately achieved full compliance by October 2025, though the extended timeline and repeated re-inspections indicate initial response was slow. The violations posed significant life-safety risks in a residential care facility serving vulnerable populations, particularly the fire detection and suppression system deficiencies. The facility's eventual correction of all deficiencies shows adequate commitment to compliance, but the pattern of multiple disapprovals suggests systemic gaps in maintenance oversight and documentation practices.

This residential care facility had critical and persistent life-safety violations across three consecutive inspections (February, April, and August 2025), including inoperable fire alarm components (multiple smoke detectors and strobes), inadequate sprinkler system performance, improperly stored oxygen with combustibles, failed emergency lighting, and missing required fire drills across all shifts. Despite two re-inspections, the facility failed to provide correction reports or documentation of repairs, showing only minimal corrective action (some items marked 'corrected' in April but core fire protection system deficiencies persisted through August). The pattern of recurring violations involving fundamental fire detection and suppression systems, combined with inadequate documentation and slow response, demonstrates systemic failure in maintaining basic life-safety protections for vulnerable residents.

This residential care facility had severe life-safety violations including multiple inoperable smoke detectors in critical areas (dining room, TV room, elevator hall), deficient sprinkler system with inadequate water flow (GPM not meeting system demand), failed emergency lighting in memory care, and oxygen stored improperly with combustible materials. The facility showed only moderate response - while they corrected some violations between the February and April re-inspection (emergency lighting, space heater, medical gas storage), they failed to provide required documentation for critical fire protection systems and allowed the same fire alarm and sprinkler deficiencies to persist for over two months, resulting in continued disapproval status. The pattern of missing required inspections, testing records, and incomplete corrective actions demonstrates systemic compliance failures that create ongoing resident safety risks in a vulnerable population facility.

This document appears to be corrupted or contains unreadable text, making it impossible to identify any specific violations or compliance issues. No violations can be assessed from the provided content. In the absence of identifiable deficiencies, the facility is presumed to be operating in compliance, though this assessment cannot be verified without a readable inspection report.

Cascade Place residential care facility had systemic fire and life safety violations discovered across three inspections (January-April 2024), including missing documentation for critical systems: fire sprinkler inspections, emergency lighting tests, fire alarm systems, CO detector testing, and fire drill records. Multiple emergency lights and exit signs were non-functional when tested, kitchen fire suppression was overdue for service, and fire extinguishers showed physical defects. The facility corrected some violations between inspections but continued to lack required documentation at follow-up visits, demonstrating incomplete response. While some items were marked corrected, persistent documentation gaps and recurring equipment failures across re-inspections indicate inadequate systematic compliance processes, though no immediate resident harm was documented.

The inspection was conducted in response to a complaint about a power outage on 12/26/2023 caused by a windstorm. The facility lost power for less than four hours, during which call lights were non-functional, but the facility appropriately initiated safety checks during the outage. The inspector found no violations, indicating the facility handled the emergency situation appropriately with no resident harm or safety issues.

The January 2023 inspection identified six moderate fire safety violations including improper multiplug adapters, missing documentation for annual fire-resistance inspections, five non-functional fire dampers, and an improperly mounted kitchen fire extinguisher. The facility demonstrated a good response by correcting all violations within two months, as confirmed by the March 2023 follow-up inspection showing full compliance. While the violations were primarily related to documentation gaps and equipment maintenance issues rather than immediate life-safety concerns, the facility's prompt remediation demonstrates adequate commitment to regulatory compliance.
