Initial inspection on 03/27/2025 identified minor fire safety violations related to door hardware, latching mechanisms, and signage - issues that posed minimal immediate risk but required correction for code compliance. The facility responded appropriately with timely corrective actions, and the follow-up inspection on 09/09/2025 confirmed all violations were corrected within the scheduled timeframe. The violations were procedural in nature with no resident safety impact, and the facility demonstrated good compliance through prompt remediation.

A resident-to-resident altercation resulted in assault charges and the victim's arrest and three-night jail stay. Upon return, the resident exhibited continued aggression, prompting facility administration to issue an improper discharge notice that failed to meet WAC 388-78A-2665 and RCW 70-129-110 requirements. The facility's response was inadequate, as they violated discharge procedures during a crisis situation and received a citation for failing to follow proper protocols when removing a vulnerable resident.

The facility failed a second State Fire Marshal inspection on 05/21/2024, resulting in multiple fire safety violations that placed all 144 residents at immediate risk of harm from potential fire hazards. This is a severe systemic failure affecting the fundamental safety systems required for licensure. The facility acknowledged non-compliance and demonstrated a good response by actively working with outside vendors and internal maintenance staff to correct the identified deficiencies, though corrective actions were not yet complete at the time of investigation.

This inspection identified extensive life-safety violations including multiple non-functional fire doors, missing emergency lighting, electrical hazards (exposed wiring, open junction boxes), and systematic failures to conduct and document required fire safety inspections across fire drills, sprinkler systems, fire alarms, and emergency equipment testing. The facility demonstrated inadequate maintenance of critical fire protection systems with documentation gaps spanning monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual requirements. The facility's response was minimal—the approval status shows 'Disapproved' with no evidence of corrective actions documented in the report, indicating failure to remediate known hazards or establish compliant safety protocols.

The inspection identified multiple moderate compliance violations including failure to complete national fingerprint background check for the administrator, missing tuberculosis screening for one caregiver, and inadequate documentation of care plans for four residents receiving physician-ordered medical treatments (oxygen therapy and anticoagulant medications). The facility responded appropriately with timely corrections including immediately posting proper licensing, placing first-aid kits with signage, initiating professional pest control for bed bug infestation, and addressing resident dining grievances. A follow-up inspection on 09/07/2023 confirmed all deficiencies were corrected and the facility met licensing requirements.

The May 2023 inspection found multiple fire safety documentation deficiencies including missing inspection records for fire doors, dampers, sprinkler systems, emergency lighting, and incomplete fire drill documentation across all shifts. Physical violations included improper extension cord use (corrected on-site), unpermitted penetrations in electrical rooms, and non-functioning emergency lights. The facility responded appropriately by correcting immediate hazards during inspection and completing all required corrective actions, as evidenced by the June 2023 follow-up inspection showing full compliance and approval status restored within one month of the initial disapproval. The violations primarily involved documentation gaps and minor safety issues rather than immediate life-safety hazards, and the facility's timely remediation demonstrated adequate commitment to regulatory compliance.
