AI-Generated Summary

State inspectors found two violations at Washington Crossing Senior Living during a December 2, 2025 survey. First, fire safety deficiencies were identified: laundry room doors were held open by magnetic devices not connected to the fire alarm system and would not close automatically in an emergency, and a smoke barrier door near room G58 had a quarter-inch gap from a missing smoke seal. Second, the facility had no pre-employment background check process in place, meaning four employees — including the executive director, a nurse, a housekeeper, and a medication assistant — were hired without any screening for abuse or neglect history. The facility plans to install proper door hardware, add smoke seals, and implement background checks for all current and future employees by January 2026.
