WAC 388-78A-2462: The facility failed to conduct Washington State Name and Date of Birth background checks for 4 of 6 staff members (Staff B, C, D, and E) and 2 private caregivers before they provided care to residents.

WAC 388-78A-2464: The facility failed to complete and submit a DSHS background authorization form prior to employment for Staff D, who provided direct care to residents for 60 days before the form was submitted.

WAC 388-78A-2474: The facility failed to ensure Staff E completed all required long-term care worker training, including orientation and safety training, before performing job duties as a Care Partner.
