Questions to ask before you visit.

A short pre-tour checklist tailored to Easthaven Villa's record and state requirements.

Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.

03 /

Seven complaints were filed with DSHS Residential Care Services during the inspection period on file — were any of those complaints substantiated, and what specific changes did the facility make in response to substantiated findings?

Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.

Plain-language summary

A complaint investigation found that Easthaven Villa staff were not following the facility's own Universal Precautions policy requiring masks and eye protection when there was risk of exposure to blood or bodily fluids, such as during resident care activities; during a March 2025 follow-up visit, staff were still not consistently wearing required protective equipment, gloves were not always used, and hand hygiene was not observed after resident care. The facility had previously been cited for this same deficiency in January 2025 and stated it would correct the issue by February 2025, but the investigation found the deficiency remained uncorrected.

Plain-language summary

A complaint investigation at Easthaven Villa found that the facility failed to implement the negotiated care plan for a resident with Alzheimer's disease who had specific instructions to be monitored during meals for eating too quickly and pocketing food; the resident choked and died during dinner when staff were not directly supervising him.

A deficiency was cited for failure to provide care and services as agreed upon in the negotiated service agreement.
