DSHS stops admissions to Lyle adult family home

The Department of Social and Health Services took the action after finding numerous violations that adversely affected the safety and well-being of residents. The violations include but are not limited to:

The provider did not comply with a condition to her license by allowing her daughter to be on the premises of the adult family home. This resulted in yelling and arguing between the provider and her daughter in front of residents. Law enforcement had to intervene. The incident caused emotional harm to all the residents.

While the home is in stop placement, licensee may not admit residents.

The provider has the right to contest the stop placement and revocation by requesting an administrative hearing within 28 days of state notification.

Current residents may stay in the home pending completion of the appeal process. If a resident chooses to remain, DSHS will continue to monitor the home for resident safety.
