The inspection identified multiple moderate compliance violations including failure to provide required Medicaid disclosure documentation to 7 residents, delayed TB testing for 1 staff member (23 days late), medication administration errors for 2 oxygen-dependent residents (incorrect flow rates and missing orders), incomplete service plans for 4 residents on blood thinners/insulin without documented risk monitoring, and missing safety assessments for smoking and medical device use affecting 7 residents. The facility demonstrated a good response by promptly developing corrective action plans with completion dates within 30-60 days, fully correcting all deficiencies by the follow-up inspection on 12/05/2025, and implementing monitoring systems to prevent recurrence.

During a September 2025 DSHS inspection, investigators observed residents smoking in an improperly designated area with no signage and cigarette debris on the ground, raising fire safety concerns. By the October 1st follow-up investigation, the facility had already installed proper signage and established a compliant designated smoking area, demonstrating proactive correction. The Fire Marshal confirmed no International Fire Code violations were observed during the follow-up inspection and no injuries occurred. The facility's prompt corrective action before the formal complaint investigation concluded shows appropriate responsiveness to identified safety concerns.

The facility had four violations during a fire and life safety inspection: improper use of extension cords as permanent wiring, unsealed fire-rated penetrations in multiple locations, a malfunctioning emergency light, and blocked egress in the dining area. Two violations (extension cord and blocked egress) were corrected immediately on-site, demonstrating responsive action. The facility completed all corrective actions within one week, as confirmed by the follow-up inspection showing full compliance and approved status.
