STATE OF WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES Aging and Long-Term Support Administration PO Box 45600, Olympia, WA 98504-5600 October 10, 2024 ELECTRONIC-FACSIMILE Administrator North Point Village, Assisted Living & Memory Care 1110 E Westview Ct Spokane, WA 99218 Assisted Living Facility License # 2479 Licensee: PSL Associates, LLC IMPOSITION OF CIVIL FINE, AND CONTINUED STOP PLACEMENT ORDER PROHIBITING ADMISSIONS Dear Administrator: On September 26, 2024, the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), Residential Care Services completed a Complaint Investigation at your facility. This letter constitutes formal notice of a civil fine, and continued stop placement order prohibiting admissions for your assisted living facility, also known as North Point Village, Assisted Living & Memory Care, located at 1110 E Westview Ct, Spokane, by the State of Washington, Department of Social and Health Services. These actions are taken under the authority granted pursuant to Laws of 1998, Chapter 272 and RCW 18.20.190 and 18.20.520. The civil fine and continued stop placement order prohibiting admissions are based on the following violations of the RCW and/or WAC as described in the attached Statement of Deficiencies (SOD) report dated September 26, 2024. Civil Fine WAC 388-78A-2450 (1)(a)(b)(2)(e) Staff. $500.00 The licensee failed to ensure staff maintained a safe environment for one resident, failed to provide required and necessary training to one staff and failed to ensure staff provided care identified in negotiated service agreements for three residents. These failures contributed to a second degree burn to one resident, a fall with injury for another resident, unmet shower needs for two other residents, and placed residents at risk of having unmet care needs and injury. This is a recurring deficiency previously cited on December 5, 2023, for subsection (1) (a). Administrator North Point Village, Assisted Living & Memory Care License # 2479 October 10, 2024 Page 2 Continued Stop Placement order prohibiting admissions WAC 388-78A-2300 (2)(a)(i) Food and nutrition services. The licensee failed to ensure specialty diets were served per a diet manual and as ordered for seven residents and failed to have a diet manual available for food preparation. These failures resulted in a choking episode with aspiration for one resident, contradictory diet service for six other residents, and placed residents at risk for unmet dietary needs and preferences and health complications. The stop placement order prohibiting admissions to your assisted living facility was effective immediately upon verbal notice to you on September 5, 2024, in a letter notice dated September 6, 2024. The stop placement order prohibiting admissions is continued on October 10, 2024, and electronic facsimile receipt of this letter and the attached Statement of Deficiencies report. The continued stop placement order prohibiting admissions will not be postponed pending an administrative hearing or informal dispute resolution process, as is required by RCW 18.20.190(4). The continued stop placement applies to all new admissions, re-admissions, and transfer of residents. During the continued stop placement, you may not admit any new resident to your assisted living facility. In addition, you may not allow any resident who was absent from the home due to a temporary non-out-patient stay (not including out-patient treatment) at a hospital, nursing home or other treatment center to return during the continued stop placement unless you obtain advance approval from the department. You may request such approval by contacting Stephanie Jenks, Field Manager, at (509) 993-7821. Because it may not be possible to reach the Field Manager on a weekend or holiday, any pre- approval requests should be made as soon as possible during the business week. Such exceptions are made at the sole discretion of the department on a case-by-case basis. The department may impose sanctions or take other legal action if you fail to comply with the continued stop placement of admissions. The department will terminate the continued stop placement order prohibiting admissions when the violations necessitating the continued stop placement have been corrected and you exhibit the capacity to maintain adequate care and service. NOTE: These are the violations, which resulted in the fine, and continued stop placement order prohibiting admissions; see the attached Statement of Deficiencies for any additional violations.

Unless the staff person meets the requirement for having no skin testing or only one test, the assisted living facility choosing to do skin testing, must ensure that each staff person has the following two-step skin testing: (1) An initial skin test within three days of employment; and (2) A second test done one to three weeks after the first test. This requirement was not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that staff received tuberculosis testing within three days of employment for 3 of 3 staff (Staff U, V, and W). This failed practice placed residents at risk of tuberculosis exposure. Findings included… Review of Staff U’s, Dining Services Partner, undated personnel file showed they were hired on 01/09/2024. Further review showed Staff U’s file did not contain any documentation of a tuberculosis (TB, communicable respiratory disease) skin test. Review of Staff V’s, Care Partner, undated personnel file showed they were hired on 12/05/2023. Staff V’s personnel file did not contain any documentation of a TB skin test. Review of Staff W’s, Med Aide, undated personnel file showed they were hired on 01/21/2024. Further review showed Staff W’s file did not contain any documentation of a TB skin test. In an interview on 01/29/2024 at 11:10 AM, Staff Q, Business Office Manager, stated that Staff U, Staff V, and Staff W did not have TB skin tests completed as the facility ran out of the TB solution needed to perform the tests.

The text indicates a complaint investigation occurred in November 2023, but does not describe what was investigated, whether any violations were found, or what the outcome was. To write a proper summary for families, I would need the actual narrative findings from the DSHS report.
