Plain-language summary

During a routine unannounced inspection on June 3–9, 2025, inspectors found that Brookdale Puyallup South failed to renew a required Washington state background check for one staff member whose check had expired in February 2025; the facility did not have documentation of the renewal that was due at that time. This deficiency placed all 42 residents at risk of receiving care from staff without current background clearance. The facility committed to correcting the violation by June 10, 2025, and implementing a monitoring system to ensure background checks are renewed on schedule going forward.
