Plain-language summary
I don't have enough information in the narrative to write a summary. The document shows a complaint investigation occurred but provides no details about what was investigated, what was found, or what citation (if any) was issued. To help families understand the inspection outcome, I would need the actual findings from the investigation.
“The facility failed to correct several Fire and Life Safety Code deficiencies noted on the Office of the State Fire Marshal's first follow up inspection report.”
“The facility failed to obtain a national fingerprint background check for a facility care partner staff member.”

A routine unannounced inspection of Bishop Place Senior Living in Pullman was conducted October 20–23, 2025, and found two deficiencies: hot water temperatures in four resident bathrooms and one common area exceeded the safe maximum of 120 degrees Fahrenheit, ranging from 123.9 to 125.2 degrees, creating a scalding risk, and the facility failed to ensure one medication aide had a current Washington state background check completed within the required two-year timeframe.
“The facility failed to maintain hot water temperatures between 105-120 degrees Fahrenheit in resident rooms and common areas. Four residents had water temperatures exceeding 120 degrees (124.4°F, 125.2°F, 124.1°F, and 123.9°F), and the Activities Room also exceeded safe limits on multiple occasions.”

2024-04-01Complaint InvestigationType A · 2 findings
Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation at Bishop Place Senior Living on February 29, 2024 found that the facility's kitchen hot water system had been broken since November 2023, requiring kitchen staff to wash hands in cold water and preventing the dishwasher from reaching temperatures needed to properly sterilize dishes, which placed residents at risk for cross contamination and foodborne illness. Citations were issued for failure to provide adequate hot water throughout the facility and failure to maintain proper food sanitation practices. The facility was required to submit a plan of correction to address these deficiencies.
“The facility failed to ensure hot water was supplied to 5 out of 5 sinks in the kitchen area. Kitchen staff were forced to wash their hands in cold water, placing residents at risk for cross contamination. The hot water heater for the kitchen had been non-functional since November 2023 with no temporary solution in place.”
“The facility failed to ensure adequate water temperature for sterilization in the kitchen dishwasher, which did not reach the required minimum of 180°F for the rinse/sterilization cycle. Temperature logs from November 9, 2023 through February 29, 2024 confirmed the dishwasher never reached required temperatures, resulting in improper sterilization of dishes and placing residents at risk for food-borne illness.”

Plain-language summary
I don't have enough information in the source material provided to write an accurate summary. The document shows a complaint investigation was conducted, but the narrative section and conclusion details are blank or marked "N/A," so I cannot determine what was investigated or what findings resulted. To provide families with meaningful information, I would need the actual inspection narrative describing what was alleged and what the inspector found.
“Staff did not complete fit testing for respiratory protection equipment prior to entering resident rooms of COVID-19 positive residents, despite facility policy requiring full personal protection equipment use in these situations.”
