Inspection Reports for Village Concepts of Burien – El Dorado West
1010 SW 134th St, Burien, WA 98146, United States, WA, 98146
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on April 10, 2025, found deficiencies related to a sewage leak caused by overgrown roots and a temporary cold water shutoff, but no fire code violations were observed. Earlier inspections showed a mix of issues including fire safety concerns such as missing fire watch documentation and life safety code deficiencies like open conduits and missing carbon monoxide alarms. Complaint investigations mostly resulted in unsubstantiated findings, except for a substantiated case in January 2024 where the facility denied a resident’s right to leave unsupervised and initially refused readmission after hospital discharge, which was later corrected. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The inspection history shows some recurring maintenance and safety documentation issues, but recent inspections suggest the facility has addressed many prior concerns.
