Briarwood At Timber Ridge runs 4.64 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 28.6 percent against a national 45.8, meaning the people caring for your relative are more likely to still be there next year than at a typical home. Weekend coverage dips about 12 percent below weekdays, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in December 2025. For a 45-bed for-profit, that combination of low turnover and steady survey history is what stands out.

Garden Terrace runs about 5.45 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 41% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits well below the norm, 31.3% against 45.8% nationally. That combination usually points to a home that can hold onto caregivers and keep enough of them on the floor. Weekends thin out somewhat, running about 16% below weekday levels, and the record carries 46 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was June 2025, so the picture is recent. A for-profit limited liability company operates its 70 certified beds.

Regency Care Center At Monroe runs 4.08 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, and its weekend staffing dips about 9% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 31.7%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn than many for-profit LLC homes. The current record shows 32 deficiencies, but none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in May 2025.

Mt Baker Care Center in Bellingham runs 70 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing number is the one worth noting: 5.00 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, which is common but still worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Its inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, a distinction worth asking the administrator about directly. Staff turnover sits at 41%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The last inspection was July 2025, so the record is recent. Strong staffing plus a clean harm-level record is a solid combination.

Nurse staffing at Avamere Rehabilitation of Cascade Park runs well ahead of the national average, and the weekend drop is modest, so coverage stays fairly steady across the week. Turnover sits in the low range too, 27.4% against a national number closer to 46%, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month. The tradeoff shows up on the inspection record: 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two flagged as abuse-related, even though the most recent inspection was in late 2025 and the health and quality ratings both land at 4 out of 5. Strong staffing, a longer deficiency history, worth asking about directly before you decide.

Transitional Care Of Seattle runs 165 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 7.83 hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86. That's the number driving its staffing score, though weekends dip about 17% below weekday levels, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. Staff turnover lands at 37.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The tradeoff shows up in its inspection record: 42 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a health inspection rating of 3 out of 5. The most recent inspection was September 23, 2025. Strong staffing and quality scores, but the deficiency history is worth asking about directly.

Pine Ridge Post Acute runs on a leaner staff than most: 4.16 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and the weekend drop is real but modest at about 14 percent below weekdays. Turnover sits at 19.2 percent, well under the national 45.8 percent, which matters more than any single inspection score, staff who stay know the residents. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 45 deficiencies on file, including one at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with a $16,445 fine. The most recent inspection was March 2026, so the picture is current. For-profit, limited liability ownership. Strong staffing and low turnover, offset by a troubled survey history.

Queen Anne Healthcare runs on 4.84 nurse hours per resident day, about 25 percent more staffing than the national average, and its turnover sits at 38.2 percent against a national 45.8 percent, both point to a home that keeps people and has enough of them. The trade-off is consistency on weekends, when hours dip roughly 12 percent below the weekday level. A five-star inspection rating with zero deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, on a record of 30 total, is a clean if not spotless paper trail. The current inspection is recent, dated May 2026, so what you're seeing is close to present-tense.

Regency Omak runs on better-than-average nurse coverage, 4.04 hours per resident day against a national figure of 3.86, and staff tend to stick around, with turnover at 39.1% compared to 45.8% nationally. The weekend dip is worth asking about, though: hours drop roughly 14% from weekday levels, which is when families often notice less attention. The inspection record is where the picture gets more mixed. Nineteen deficiencies are on file, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, even though the last survey came back in January 2026. A corporation owns the 56-bed building, so ask how those abuse-related findings were resolved and what weekend coverage actually looks like on the floor.

Sunshine Health & Rehab runs on a small 37-bed footprint in Spokane, and the nurse staffing here sits well above what most homes provide, nearly 5 hours per resident day against a national average closer to 3.9. Weekends do thin out by about 19% compared to weekdays, so ask how coverage looks on a Saturday. The inspection record carries 32 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent survey was in January 2026, so the picture is current. Quality measures score at the top of CMS's scale, which is notable given that volume of citations.

Richmond Beach Rehab sits in Shoreline with 131 certified beds and a for-profit LLC owner. Nurse staffing runs 4.05 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, and turnover at 31% is well below the 45.8% national figure, that kind of retention matters for consistent care. But weekends dip roughly 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. The inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $44,753 fine. Last inspection was February 2026, so the record is current. Solid quality measures and staffing don't erase those citations.

Avamere Transitional Care of Puget Sound runs a 60-bed for-profit operation in Tacoma, and its staffing is the clearest strength: 5.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, with a 5-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating and turnover at 34.3%, well below the 45.8% national figure. Weekends do run about 16% leaner than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even. The caution is the inspection record: 45 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $35,875 fine. Quality measures rate 4 out of 5, and the last inspection was recent, in November 2025. Strong hands-on care, but a paper trail worth reading closely.

Belmont Terrace runs 102 beds in Bremerton under corporate for-profit ownership, and its numbers tell a mixed story worth sorting through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.72 hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Staff turnover lands at 42.5%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure, though still meaning nearly half the workforce turning over in a year. The 78 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 2026. Strong quality measures and solid staffing stars sit alongside a 2-star inspection record; read the inspection reports themselves before deciding.

Avalon Care Center Federal Way runs 4.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 38.3% sits well below the 45.8% national figure, both signs of a stable floor. Weekend staffing dips about 12% from weekday levels, so coverage thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. The home carries 48 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and it was inspected as recently as November 2025. The quality measure rating is strong; the health inspection rating is middling, which is where the deficiency count shows up.

The Oaks At Timberline runs a tight ship on the clinical side, 4.07 nursing hours per resident day, about 6 percent above the national average, with a 5/5 on health inspections and another 5/5 on quality measures. There's a catch worth knowing: weekend staffing drops roughly 16 percent below its weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week, even though the overall number looks strong. Staff turnover sits at 27.6 percent, well below the 45.8 percent national figure, which suggests people stick around. The 14 deficiencies on record carry no harm or jeopardy findings and nothing abuse-related. A corporate for-profit operator, inspected most recently in March 2026.

Staff turnover is 28.6%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The 28 deficiencies on record include two abuse-related citations, but none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in January 2026.

Good Samaritan Health Care Center runs 105 certified beds in Yakima under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers here stand out for the right reasons. Nurses provide 4.46 hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average, and staff turnover sits at 22.8%, about half the national rate of 45.8%. That kind of retention matters, since it usually means caregivers who know the residents. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about directly. The inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though five are abuse-related and deserve a specific question. The last inspection was in late 2025, so the record is current.

Avamere Rehabilitation of Shoreline runs 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, so staffing is the strongest part of the picture here. Weekend coverage, though, drops about 18% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 42.6%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating and 92 deficiencies on the current record, 14 of them abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. None were cited at the harm or jeopardy level. The 5-of-5 quality measure rating contrasts sharply with that inspection history.

Redmond Care And Rehabilitation Center runs about 3.66 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday staffing. That's the tradeoff you're weighing against a 26.2% turnover rate, well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. Its inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. State surveyors were last in on June 13, 2025, so that picture is current. The for-profit corporate owner runs 139 beds, and the home's quality measure scores are strong. Read the staffing pattern carefully: slightly thin overall, thinner on weekends, but a stable workforce.

Bainbridge Island Health & Rehab runs on a stable crew: 23.3% annual turnover against a national average near 46%, which matters more than the headline staffing number. Nurse coverage sits at 3.91 hours per resident day, barely above the 3.86 national average, and weekends drop roughly 10% below weekday levels, so the consistency comes from who stays, not from deep benches. The record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, and the last inspection was November 2025. For a for-profit LLC, steady retention and clean inspection scores are the real story here.
