Tour Prep

Questions to ask before you visit.

A short pre-tour checklist tailored to Mirror Lake Village's record and state requirements.

01 /

Mirror Lake Village holds a Washington DSHS Specialized Dementia Care contract — can you walk us through the written dementia care program you submitted to DSHS to qualify for that contract, and show us how staff training records demonstrate compliance with the specialized care requirements?

Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.

02 /

The most recent inspection on February 1, 2026 resulted in 2 deficiencies — can you share the corrective action plans you submitted to DSHS for those findings, and explain what changes were implemented to prevent recurrence?

Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.

03 /

With 120 licensed beds and a dementia care contract, how does the facility document that residents requiring specialized memory care receive services consistent with DSHS contract standards, and can families review those individualized care records during the tour?

Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.

Annual Compliance Visit
Type A · 2 findings

Plain-language summary

During an unannounced follow-up inspection on November 6, 2024, regulators found that Mirror Lake Village failed to document proper care plans and staff guidance for five residents with specific medical and behavioral needs, including instructions for managing depression, swallowing difficulties, exit-seeking behaviors, and aggressive resistance to care. This was the facility's third citation for the same violation since May 2024, despite previous promises to correct the deficiency by June, August, and October 2024. The undocumented care gaps placed these residents at risk for unmet medical needs and worsening health conditions.

Type AWAC §WAC 388-78A-2140
Verbatim citation text · WAC §WAC 388-78A-2140

Facility failed to document in 5 residents' Negotiated Service Agreements the care needs and interventions for diagnoses and physician ordered medical treatments, including depression management, swallowing precautions, exit-seeking behavior management, behavioral management for resistance to care, and blood thinner medication monitoring.

Verbatim citation text · WAC §WAC 388-78A-2170
