Inspection records cover since early 2025, comprising two inspections and 10 total deficiencies, compared to a Washington state average of 6.3 deficiencies per year. The Life Safety inspection on August 8, 2025, conducted by the Office of the State Fire Marshal, produced 8 deficiencies, all related to fire safety maintenance: storage near sprinkler heads, exposed wiring, power tap misuse across multiple rooms, ceiling and door penetrations, and an obstructed fire extinguisher. All 8 were corrected during the inspection. A similar fire inspection on July 8, 2025, had flagged related issues. The February 14, 2025, annual inspection found 2 administrative deficiencies: missing dementia training documentation for two staff members and an incomplete resident service agreement regarding electronic monitoring access. Both were resolved the same day. No fines, enforcement actions, or substantiated complaints reported. Meanwhile, staffing is a standout.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Spokane, WA

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Washington?

Does Washington Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Washington Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
