Inspection Report Summary for Merrill Gardens at Kirkland
The most recent inspection on January 29, 2025, identified multiple deficiencies related to fire safety, including emergency drills, electrical receptacles, extension cords, door operation, sprinkler system testing, and missing or outdated documentation. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar fire safety issues, such as malfunctioning fire doors, emergency lighting failures, missing inspection reports, and incomplete fire alarm maintenance. A complaint investigation in March 2024 substantiated fire safety violations due to missing documentation and equipment problems, but follow-up inspections confirmed corrections were made. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility has shown ongoing challenges with fire safety compliance but has addressed some issues after follow-up inspections, though deficiencies persist in the most recent report.
