This failure represents a fundamental breach of care standards.

Federal inspectors documented a troubling escalation of violence against the resident.

The resident, who required total assistance with daily activities, experienced falls from mechanical lifts on April 14 and June 1, 2024.

Hospital staff contacted Parkview Care Center to notify them that the resident was returning by taxi.

During multiple cardiac events, staff discovered critical gaps in their crash cart supplies and accessibility.

The malfunctioning alarms were located at the 100 hall door, the west hall door facing the parking lot, and the downstairs hallway office door.

The facility had only submitted the basic Facility Reported Incident (FRI) form to the state agency, which contained minimal information about the incident.

Inspection records revealed that staff failed to administer prescribed breathing treatments on multiple occasions in March 2025.

Two residents experienced dangerous delays in receiving ordered laboratory work that could have detected serious health problems.

However, federal surveyors identified a fundamental flaw in the facility's approach.

The incident involved **60 oxycodone/acetaminophen tablets** belonging to one resident and **30 oxycodone tablets** belonging to another.

The citation references WAC 388-97-0640 (6)(a)(b), indicating violations related to facility operations and resident care standards.
