The state Department of Social and Health Services has halted admissions to Olympic Healthcare Services in Centralia and revoked the adult family home's license.

_

The home, at 802 Atherton Ave. in Centralia, is licensed to Galina Baida.

The department took the action after reporting the following violations: The provider failed to have a qualified resident manager, qualified staff members and negotiated care plans; failed to complete negotiated care plans for five residents; failed to ensure blood glucose testing was done before meals for one resident, ensure one resident had his swallowing issues evaluated and ensure one resident received needed daily living assistance; failed to ensure that caregivers had access to pain relievers and anti-anxiety medications needed by three residents; had expired regular and emergency food items for six residents; failed to ensure six residents had meaningful activities available to them; and repeatedly exceeded the home’s license capacity.
