CMS REMOVES IMMEDIATE JEOPARDY CITATIONS
FROM LIFE CARE CENTER OF KIRKLAND 
 
Our nurses and healthcare providers
remain focused on patient care 

 
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has been a
valuable partner to us over the years as we continue to make patient
care our top priority. 
 
This past weekend, we successfully worked with CMS to remove three
Immediate Jeopardy citations. We will continue to work with CMS to find
solutions to their ongoing concerns. 
 
We receive routine visits from CMS to ensure we’re following the correct
protocols to ensure quality resident-centered care. Prior to this, we were
honored to have achieved a 5-star overall rating from CMS; the highest
rating given to nursing homes. 
 
We are working hard to address their current concerns in a timely and
respectful manner so as to provide our residents the best care. The
federal administrative process provides a means for us to dispute any
findings which we believe are incorrect, and we believe some are here.
However, we will follow CMS’ process and not address our responses in
the public.
