Plain-language summary

During an unannounced follow-up inspection on September 18, 2025, inspectors found that Wellspring Centralia LLC failed to implement a resident's negotiated service agreement regarding diet and liquid texture requirements. One sampled memory care resident was prescribed a pureed diet with nectar-thick liquids due to swallowing difficulties, but staff served the resident regular food and thin liquids instead, placing the resident at risk for medical complications and possible hospitalization. This deficiency had previously been cited on July 23, 2025 and remained uncorrected.
