Gleed Orchard Manor

The facility failed to maintain valid two-year Washington state background checks for three staff members, with lapses ranging from 199 to 530 days after expiration, creating regulatory non-compliance and potential risk of disqualified staff providing care. The facility acknowledged the deficiency during the inspection and submitted a plan of correction with a completion date, demonstrating a reasonable but not exemplary response. This represents a pattern of administrative oversight affecting multiple personnel across different roles and hire dates, indicating a systemic gap in compliance monitoring rather than an isolated incident.

Routine fire safety inspection identified two minor violations: smoking materials found outside ashtrays in the patio area and a non-operational portable heater plugged in outside. Both issues were corrected on-site during the inspection, demonstrating immediate facility responsiveness. These were minor procedural violations with no impact on resident safety, and the facility's immediate corrective action prevented any escalation of risk.

A full inspection of Gleed Orchard Manor was completed on 02/27/2024 and found no deficiencies. The facility was in full compliance with all regulatory requirements at the time of the inspection. No violations were identified and no corrective actions were required.

The facility failed to inform residents and staff about a $30 monthly increase in personal needs allowances for state-funded residents starting in July 2023, though the accounts were correctly increased. This represents a communication and notification failure rather than financial mismanagement, as residents were observed to be clean, well-groomed, and cheerful with no safety concerns. The report documents the violation but provides no information about the facility's response or corrective actions taken.
