Plain-language summary
During a routine inspection of Guardian Angel Homes Liberty Lake, deficiencies were cited in three areas: water temperature maintenance in two memory care buildings failed to stay between 105 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit for one resident, and a kitchenette faucet was non-functional for another resident; one resident received the wrong medication instead of their prescribed nasal spray; and one resident missed a scheduled medication because the facility failed to obtain it in a timely manner. The medication administration deficiency was noted as recurring from previous inspections in 2023 and 2024. The facility submitted a plan of correction to address all cited violations.
“The facility failed to maintain water temperatures between 105°F and 120°F for one resident (Resident 7) and in two of five buildings (Cottage and Craftsman memory care buildings). Water temperatures ranged from 75°F to 131°F, placing residents at risk for skin injury.”
“The facility failed to administer the correct medication to one of nine sampled residents (Resident 9), resulting in the resident receiving the wrong medication and placing them at risk of health complications.”

2025-06-01Complaint InvestigationType A · 1 finding
Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation on April 8, 2025 found that the facility failed to clearly document in one resident's care plan how many staff members and what equipment (such as a gait belt) were needed to safely transfer them, resulting in improper transfers that caused bruising to the resident's armpit and inner elbow, a hospital visit, and a change in the resident's blood thinner medication. Staff members transferred the resident alone without a gait belt by pulling on the resident's underarms and waistband, contrary to what the nursing staff determined was required. A deficiency was cited for the facility's failure to include complete transfer instructions in the resident's negotiated service agreement.
“The facility failed to clearly document in the resident's negotiated service agreement the plan to assist the resident with transferring from one surface to another, specifically not indicating how many staff were required to safely transfer the resident or if a gait belt was required. This resulted in improper transfers that caused injuries including swelling and extensive bruising to the resident's axilla and inner elbow, requiring hospitalization and medication changes.”

Plain-language summary
On December 24, 2024, Washington DSHS conducted a complaint investigation at Guardian Angel Homes Liberty Lake and found that the facility performed COVID-19 testing on six residents without obtaining the required state Medical Test Site Waiver license, which placed residents at risk of receiving inaccurate test results; positive test results from this unlicensed testing were used by medical providers to prescribe antiviral medication to the residents. A deficiency was cited, and the facility was required to submit a plan of correction to achieve compliance.
“The facility failed to obtain a Medical Test Site Waiver (MTSW) license before performing on-site COVID-19 rapid testing for 6 residents. This resulted in testing being performed without regulatory oversight, placing residents at risk of receiving inaccurate test results.”

2024-02-01Complaint InvestigationType A · 2 findings
Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation at Guardian Angel Homes Liberty Lake in October 2023 found that a caregiver provided care to residents with dementia without completing required specialty training, and that this caregiver did not follow a resident's care plan preference to allow the resident to turn themselves in bed—instead turning them despite the resident's protests and causing bruises and pain. The facility was cited for violations of dementia training requirements and resident rights protections. The facility submitted a plan to correct these deficiencies.
“The facility failed to ensure that staff (Staff B) completed required specialty dementia training prior to caring for residents with dementia. All 13 residents in the memory care unit were diagnosed with dementia, but the caregiver had no documentation of completing the required specialized training.”
“Staff B failed to provide care consistent with resident dignity and preferences. Despite the resident's documented preference to turn themselves due to pain, staff forcefully turned the resident against their wishes, causing pain, bruising, and fear for the resident's safety.”
