The community’s inspection history with the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services includes a total of 10 visits, three of which are complaint-driven inspections, four are routine reviews, and three are life safety checks. Eight of these visits cited deficiencies that accumulated to 27, while two found no issues. The most recent inspection on May 15, 2025, was a follow-up that concluded with no deficiencies, a figure below the state average of 31.

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 41m per day ▼ 26% State avg: 54m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 52m per day ▲ 10% State avg: 48m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.

Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 31m per day ▼ 20% State avg: 39m per day · National avg: 29m per day
