Financial exploitation where resident money was missing, was also substantiated with failure-to-investigate citations.
Administrative failures included delayed incident reporting to authorities and incomplete staff background checks and training.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Washington
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Washington?
Assisted living in Washington supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
Does Washington Medicaid cover memory care?
Washington Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Washington) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
