Five years of data show 56 deficiencies against a Washington average of 31; 81% above normal. That’s 11.2 per year versus the state average of 6.2. The facility received 31 inspections in five years versus Washington’s average of 9; that’s 244% above baseline. Regulators were paying a lot of attention.
Average deficiencies per inspection were 1.8 versus Washington’s 3.4, so they spread findings across many visits rather than concentrating violations into a few intense inspections. Still, 244% more inspections is significant regulatory scrutiny.
A January 2025 inspection found zero deficiencies and confirmed correction of seven prior issues: resident assessments, food sanitation, background checks, emergency preparedness. A follow-up verified they’d fixed respiratory protection program deficiencies. That’s rapid correction across multiple problem areas.
November 2024 cited failure to fit-test healthcare workers annually for respirators. Earlier in 2023 and 2024, the facility repeatedly failed to implement negotiated agreements about daily compression stocking use, which triggered civil fines.
Kenmore Senior Living has been under heavy regulatory scrutiny across 31 inspections over five years, documenting deficiencies 81% above the state average. But the facility pivoted sharply in January 2025 with rapid correction across seven significant operational areas and no deficiencies in the most recent inspection. The recent clean inspection is good; the historical pattern is cautionary.
