Akberet Tekle, Appellant v. Washington Department of Social and Health Services, Respondent (868624)
Akberet Tekle was the owner and operator of an adult family home. In November 2019, one of Tekle’s residents left the home when the temperature was below freezing and he was partially undressed, while unsupervised. DSHS cited Tekle for failing to support resident safety and failing to report the resident missing. Tekle requested an administrative proceeding, where the ALJ affirmed DSHS’s decision. Tekle then filed a petition for review with the Board of Appeal, which affirmed the ALJ’s findings. Tekle now petitions for judicial review of the Board’s decision. COA # 868624, Thurston County Superior Court #22-2-01990-34.
