• Inspections: routine licensing visits, at least every 18 months
• Investigations: visits made in response to a complaint
• Enforcement actions: letters describing fines, conditions, stop placement or other action DSHS took
• Limitations: limits placed on the license, such as on the residents the home may admit
• A citation means a rule was not met; it does not by itself mean a resident was harmed. Read what was cited and whether DSHS confirmed it was corrected.
• The state's page is organized by license number. After a change of ownership the new owner has a new license, so an earlier owner's records may sit under the earlier license.
• No posted documents does not guarantee quality, and posting can lag behind an inspection.
