The Washington Court of Appeals, Division I, issued an opinion in Ashley Jensen v. DSHS on April 20, 2026. The appeal was taken from Thurston Superior Court (Docket No. 24-2-03590-4) with Judge Carol A. Murphy presiding over the underlying matter. This opinion should not be cited per GR 14.1(a).
The Court of Appeals of Washington, Division One, affirmed the Board of Appeals' final order upholding a substantiated finding by Adult Protective Services (APS) that Ashley Jensen neglected a vulnerable adult. Jensen, the sole caregiver at a supported living home, left two residents unsupervised to take a personal phone call outside. The court rejected Jensen's challenges under three subsections of the Washington Administrative Procedure Act.
