Complaint Investigation
Type A · 1 finding

Plain-language summary

A complaint investigation at the facility on January 11, 2024 found that the facility failed to maintain required documentation of showers for three residents over the December 2023 and January 2024 period, despite service plans requiring two showers per week for each resident. Review of resident records, shower schedules, and staff interviews revealed no shower sheets or progress note entries showing whether showers were given, refused, or attempted, and the facility administrator acknowledged not knowing whether residents received their scheduled showers. The facility cited deficiencies related to failure to provide or document required personal care services according to negotiated service agreements.

Type AWAC §WAC 388-78A-2160

To help families understand the facility's inspection results, I would need information about the specific complaint issue and the regulator's findings.
