A long-term residential facility for seniors in Lacey was issued a $1,000 civil fine by the Washington state Department of Social and Health Services last week after an investigation found that the facility violated residents rights as protected under state law.
In a letter shared with McClatchy by Rep. Laurie Dolan, D-Olympia, and Sen. Sam Hunt, D-Olympia, DSHS said that Bonaventure "failed to ensure residents had the right to be free from interference during a meeting with their legislative representatives, and failed to ensure staff treated residents with respect and dignity."
