Bellevue Post Acute: Discharge Record Violations - WA
A complaint inspection at Bellevue Post Acute, a skilled nursing facility at 2424 156th Avenue Northeast, concluded on August 12, 2025. Federal inspectors cited the facility under a single deficiency tag, F0628, which covers the accuracy and completeness of discharge documentation. The violation was classified at the lowest level of harm: minimal harm or potential for actual harm. A few residents were affected.
That is the entirety of what the inspection record contains.
The citation references Washington Administrative Code 388-97-0120, subsections (a) through (d), which govern what nursing facilities must include and ensure when a resident is discharged. The inspection was triggered by a complaint, not a routine survey cycle, meaning someone, a resident, a family member, or a staff member, contacted regulators with a concern specific enough to prompt a visit.
What that complaint alleged, what inspectors found when they arrived, what the discharge records were missing or wrong, and what happened to the residents whose paperwork was cited: none of it appears in the version of the report available in the public record.
The form itself, CMS-2567, is the standard federal document used to record nursing home deficiencies following inspection. The copy available here runs to four pages. Page two carries the deficiency header and the regulatory citation. The narrative section where inspectors are required to describe their findings in plain language, the observations they made, the interviews they conducted, the records they reviewed, contains a single data point: 100 percent.
One number, no context.
It is not clear whether "100 percent" refers to the proportion of sampled discharge records that were deficient, the proportion of affected residents, or something else entirely. The inspection form does not say.
Bellevue Post Acute is a Medicare- and Medicaid-certified facility. Complaint inspections of this kind are initiated when regulators determine an allegation warrants an on-site review. The process typically involves inspectors pulling records, interviewing staff, and documenting specific observations in the deficiency narrative. The narrative here was either not included in the public-facing document or was not completed in the portion available.
The facility's provider identification number is 505500. The report was printed April 13, 2026, roughly eight months after the inspection concluded.
For a resident being discharged from a skilled nursing facility, the paperwork matters in ways that are not abstract. Discharge documentation is what follows a person out the door: the summary of their condition, the medications they are taking, the instructions for follow-up care, the contact information for the next provider. When that documentation is incomplete or inaccurate, the gap does not stay inside the building.
A resident discharged without an accurate medication list may take the wrong dose at home, or a new provider may not know about a drug interaction. A resident discharged without proper follow-up instructions may not know when to call a doctor. The classification of "minimal harm or potential for actual harm" means inspectors determined no serious injury had occurred, but it does not mean the documentation failures carried no risk.
What the few affected residents experienced, whether their discharges were delayed, whether their follow-up care was disrupted, whether anyone contacted them after the inspection to correct the record: the public report does not say.
The facility was given the opportunity to submit a plan of correction. That plan is not included in the available documentation. For information on how Bellevue Post Acute responded to the cited deficiency, the report directs readers to contact the facility directly or reach the Washington State survey agency.
The inspection closed. The form was printed. The narrative stayed blank.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
Corrections: We strive for accuracy in everything we publish. If you believe any fact in this article is incorrect, please contact us with details, and we will review and correct it promptly.
