The inspection identified multiple regulatory compliance deficiencies including missing CLIA waiver, incomplete specialty training for mental health and dementia, outdated disaster preparedness plan, and failure to post recent inspection reports. The facility demonstrated an exemplary response by immediately correcting all deficiencies on-site during the inspection, including submitting the CLIA application, completing required staff training, updating the disaster plan, and posting inspection documentation. All violations were procedural and training-related with no resident safety impact, and the facility's immediate corrective action prevented any follow-up requirements.

The facility had multiple documentation deficiencies: missing quarterly fire drill records for swing shift, incomplete annual sprinkler forward flow testing documentation, missing semi-annual fire alarm inspection records, incomplete monthly carbon monoxide testing documentation, and two ceiling penetrations in the garage/storage area. The facility responded immediately and corrected all violations on-site during the initial inspection on 10/22/2025, demonstrating exemplary responsiveness. The follow-up inspection on 12/15/2025 confirmed all issues remained resolved and the facility achieved approved status.

The facility failed to protect all 9 residents by allowing two caregivers accused of sexual assault to return to work on July 3-4, 2024 before completing the investigation (concluded July 5), directly violating their own abuse protection policy. Additionally, the facility allowed air conditioning to remain broken for 3+ days (July 7-10) with temperatures reaching 86-90°F, causing resident discomfort and one resident to become dizzy and lightheaded. The facility completed their internal investigation within 2 days but failed to follow their suspension protocol, and delayed AC repair for multiple days despite resident complaints, demonstrating inadequate protective measures and slow response to environmental hazards. All deficiencies were corrected by the August follow-up inspection.

The facility failed to implement a safe medication administration system, resulting in two residents not receiving documented medications as prescribed, placing them at risk of untreated medical conditions. This is an uncorrected repeat deficiency previously cited on January 11, 2024, demonstrating a pattern of systemic non-compliance. The state imposed a $400 civil fine due to the facility's failure to correct the violation after the initial citation. The facility's inadequate response to the previous citation and continued non-compliance indicates minimal corrective action and poor follow-through on medication safety protocols.

The facility committed serious systemic violations across multiple areas: failed to conduct assessments after injuries/changes in condition for three residents, failed to monitor and respond to condition changes contributing to hospitalization and pain for two residents, failed to develop adequate care plans for six residents, and committed multiple medication errors affecting seven residents including one that contributed to falls and hospitalization. These violations represent a pattern of fundamental care failures with actual resident harm. No facility response or corrective actions are documented in this enforcement letter, only notification of civil fines totaling $1,900 and a recurring deficiency from a previous citation.

This document appears to be only a state seal header from Washington State (established 1889) with no inspection report content present. Without substantive report content to analyze, no deficiencies, violations, or facility response can be assessed. No actual inspection findings are documented in the provided text.

The facility failed to conduct required preadmission assessments, admitting a resident with significant behavioral history (previous fire-starting incident, visual impairment, wheelchair use) without awareness of these issues. Post-admission, the resident exhibited disruptive behaviors, medication non-compliance, unsafe elopement attempts, and ultimately self-discharged. The facility acknowledged this was not their usual process for non-self-pay residents and committed to completing assessments going forward, but the response lacked detail on systemic changes, staff training, or monitoring procedures to prevent recurrence.
