That explanation, offered to inspectors during an April 21 survey, sits at the center of a deficiency cited against the Auburn, Washington facility.

The facility on West Seneca Turnpike is large.

That detail emerged during a state inspection in April.

The facility's own Director of Nursing confirmed it was a known problem.

Federal inspectors documented the lapse on April 9, 2025, the day before the inspection closed.

The inspection, conducted on August 12, 2025, resulted in a deficiency citation under the environmental category that covers pest prevention and response.

Federal inspectors documented the incident during a survey completed April 10, 2025.

Federal inspectors visited the 60-bed facility on April 10, 2025, and what they found in the infection prevention program wasn't a program with gaps.

The MAR showed a licensed nurse had signed off on giving midodrine at 2 p.m.

They had kept the rails since arriving at the facility and wanted them.
