2025-06-01Complaint Investigation1 · Investigations
Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation at Rosario Assisted Living in April 2025 found that the facility failed to complete an adequate skin assessment for one resident upon admission, which resulted in multiple skin wounds going undetected and untreated until the resident was hospitalized with sepsis. The facility's pre-admission assessment documented no visual skin examination despite the resident's need for assistance with toileting and personal care, and subsequent wound care issues and signs of infection were not properly reported to the resident's physician. A deficiency was cited for failure to conduct ongoing assessments as required under Washington licensing regulations.
