AI-Generated Summary

State inspectors found during an unannounced inspection on May 1–2, 2025, that The Springs at The Waterfront failed to complete required Washington State background checks within one business day of hire for four Medication Technicians. The delays were significant — one staff member hired in November 2024 did not have their background check completed until April 2025, nearly five months later. The Executive Director acknowledged the late background checks during the exit interview. This failure placed all residents and staff at risk by potentially allowing employees with disqualifying criminal histories to work at the facility. A follow-up inspection on June 16, 2025 confirmed the deficiency had been corrected.
