yelling, Quit slamming that door please! At 7:46 PM, a resident returned from outside and the door slammed behind them. At 7:50 PM, the door slammed, and a resident yelled from their room about it.
During an interview on 09/30/2025 at 3:46 PM, Staff E, Maintenance Director, was asked what the facility had been doing to alleviate the noise from the exterior door near the 70's rooms. Staff E said they tried weather stripping to muffle, but it had already come off. When asked what the facility did when this concern was brought up in April 2025 at the Resident Council meeting, Staff E said that was when they put the weather stripping on, that has now peeled off. Staff E said that they had talked to staff about using other entrances, but it is what it is. During an interview on 10/01/2025 at 8:44 AM, Staff D, Charge Nurse/Registered Nurse, was asked if they get frequent complaints about the exit door. Staff D said maintenance was aware and the complaint was only for a few people, due to the alarm going off if they did not do the alarm fast enough. When told of the observation of the door slamming multiple times and the alarm going off, with three different residents heard upset about it from their rooms, Staff D acknowledged
this was not homelike. During an interview on 10/01/2025 at 10:02 AM, Staff A, Administrator, was asked how the facility had attempted to make the environment more homelike due to the exit door slamming at night. Staff A said it was an emergency fire door, they should not be going out the door in the first place.
Staff A said they could put more sealant around the side and will now update the residents to not use that door since it is an emergency door. Reference F585Reference WAC 388-97-0880.

the physical abuse allegation at about 9:30 AM on 09/22/2025.

During an interview on 09/30/2025 at 12:01 PM, Staff F, Assistant Director of Nursing/ Infection Preventionist/ Licensed Practical Nurse, when asked if they had reported the allegation to the state when
the investigation started, said they had not. When asked why not, Staff F said that from the statements received from Resident 12, it did not look like it was abuse or neglect. Staff F also acknowledged they were unable to interview Resident 12 until 09/23/2025.
During an interview on 09/30/2025 at 12:45 PM, Staff B, Director of Nursing Services, said the facility had 24 hours to report an allegation of abuse that did not result in injury. When asked if it met expectations that
the facility was made aware by Resident 12 of an allegation of abuse at 9:30 AM on 09/22/2025, but the facility did not report until 09/23/2025 in the afternoon, Staff B said it was reported the next day so they felt that was within the appropriate timeframe.
