The Summit at First Hill

The inspection identified multiple documentation and assessment deficiencies affecting care planning for several residents, including outdated assessments not reflecting current medication management needs, missing fall risk interventions, and an unsafe bed rail installation posing entrapment risk. The facility responded promptly by correcting all deficiencies between November 6-December 2, 2025, and passed the follow-up inspection on December 18, 2025. While the violations represented systemic assessment failures with potential for resident harm, no actual injuries occurred, and the facility demonstrated good corrective action with timely remediation and policy implementation.

Initial inspection on 01/29/2025 identified 11 fire safety violations at this residential care facility, primarily involving missing inspection reports (fire dampers, fire doors, fire alarm, emergency generator fuel testing), failed equipment (fire doors not latching, missing hood suppression nozzle caps, FDC failures), missing kitchen safety signage, improper alcohol-based hand rub dispenser placement, and incomplete night shift fire drills. The facility corrected most violations by the 05/14/2025 follow-up inspection, with only one outstanding issue (fire damper inspection report) remaining at the 03/21/2025 re-inspection, demonstrating adequate follow-through on corrective actions. Violations involved maintenance and documentation lapses rather than immediate life-safety threats, though fire door and suppression system deficiencies posed moderate risk to residents.

Initial inspection on 01/29/2025 identified 11 serious fire safety violations including missing inspection reports for critical life-safety systems (fire dampers, fire alarms, emergency generator), non-functional fire doors, deficient fire suppression equipment, and missing required fire drills for three quarters. Re-inspection on 03/21/2025 found most violations uncorrected with only minimal progress, demonstrating inadequate facility response. The pattern of neglected fire safety systems and incomplete corrective actions represents severe systemic failure in maintaining fundamental life-safety protections, though no active fire or immediate evacuation was documented.

Full inspection completed on 05/28/2024 found no deficiencies at The Summit at First Hill assisted living facility. The facility demonstrated full compliance with all regulatory requirements during the inspection. No violations were identified and no corrective actions were required, indicating the facility maintains appropriate operational standards and regulatory compliance.
