Plain-language summary
During an unannounced follow-up inspection on July 29, 2025, inspectors found that a medication aide employed by Riverside Place administered delegated nursing tasks to three memory care residents on 12 separate days without proper nurse delegation authorization from the facility's registered nurse. The facility's delegation records did not list this staff member as authorized to perform medication administration for any of the residents, and the delegating nurse confirmed during interview that the staff member lacked required documentation and had not been properly delegated to perform these tasks. This violation of Washington's nurse delegation requirements was cited as a deficiency.
