During an unannounced full inspection from April 8–15, 2025, DSHS Licensor found that Brighton Court Assisted Living (License #2629) failed to ensure three residents received their prescribed medications as required by state regulations, which resulted in residents not receiving medications as prescribed and placed them at risk of health complications.

Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation at Brighton Court Assisted Living from October 29-31, 2024, found that the facility failed to complete a required character, competence, and suitability review for one housekeeper staff member who had a non-disqualifying criminal conviction on their background check. The facility had investigated an allegation of inappropriate physical contact by staff with a resident, terminated the alleged perpetrator, and provided for resident safety, but the background check compliance gap placed residents at risk of receiving services from staff not properly evaluated for working with vulnerable adults. The facility must correct this deficiency and implement a system to monitor ongoing compliance.
