Staff turnover
28%

0

Linden Post Acute runs 75 beds in Toppenish under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage, so families should ask how that gap gets covered. What stands out is retention: 28.3% turnover against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Inspections in November 2025 produced 31 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three were abuse-related. Recent inspections and steady staff count for a lot; the thin weekend coverage and those abuse citations are what to press on.

Staff turnover

Avamere Rehabilitation of Burien runs a 140-bed for-profit home where the day-to-day staffing picture is genuinely better than average: 4.08 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86, and turnover of 24.4% is roughly half the national rate. Those are real strengths. The trouble shows up on the inspection side, where 54 deficiencies on the current record include six at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $59,485 fine. Weekends also run about 11% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't even across the week. The most recent inspection was May 2025, so the record is current. Strong staffing, a rough survey history.

Hudson Bay Health and Rehabilitation in Vancouver runs 17 deficiencies on its current record, but none of them rose to the level of harm or jeopardy, and none were abuse-related. That matters more than the raw count. The home's inspection and quality-measure ratings both come back strong, and nurse staffing sits slightly above the national average at 3.94 hours per resident day, though weekends run about 9% leaner than weekdays, which is worth asking about directly. The bigger flag is turnover: 58.1% of staff leaving annually against a national average of 45.8%, under corporate for-profit ownership. A March 2026 inspection means the state's picture is current.

0

South Creek Post Acute runs 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent above the national average, and its quality measure scores come in at the top of CMS's range. Those are real strengths. The concerns sit elsewhere: weekend staffing drops about 14 percent below the weekday level, and annual turnover of 55 percent runs well above the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for whether the same caregivers know your mother from one week to the next. The current record carries 42 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and seven tied to abuse. An $8,278 fine is modest, and the last inspection was recent, in February 2026.

Marysville Care Center, a for-profit LLC home with 97 certified beds, runs nurse staffing at 4.04 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average of 3.86. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 15% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 41.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The harder numbers are on the inspection side: 45 deficiencies on the current record, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $95,001. Its last inspection was September 29, 2025. Staffing and quality measure ratings both land mid-range, but that deficiency record is what a family should weigh most.

Staffing at Puget Sound Transitional Care lands right at the national average, 3.85 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, and turnover of 32.4% is meaningfully better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. The problem isn't the workforce. It's the inspection record: 63 deficiencies, including one at the level that signals actual harm or jeopardy and three tied to abuse. A one-star health inspection rating alongside a four-star quality measure score tells you the day-to-day care metrics look fine on paper, but the state has found serious problems when it looks closely, most recently in August 2025. Weekend staffing also drops about 12% below weekday levels, so if you're touring, ask who's actually on the floor on a Saturday.

Washington Care Center runs 165 beds under for-profit LLC ownership in Seattle, and its inspection record is the part that stands out: 59 deficiencies on file, three of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus one abuse-related finding. Three CMS fines totaling $58,704 back that up. Staffing sits at 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover is 41.1%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. The most recent inspection was December 16, 2025, so the record is current. Quality and staffing measures score well; the inspection history is where the concerns concentrate.

Alderwood Park runs 102 beds in Bellingham under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, modestly above the national average of 3.86. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 10% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, and turnover lands at 48% against a national 45.8%. Inspections look solid on the surface: a January 2026 survey, 4 of 5 stars, and no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. But 45 total deficiencies are on the current record, three of them abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly before you visit.

Avalon Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 108 beds in Pasco under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.93 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday levels. The concerning part is the inspection record: 91 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 11 tied to abuse. Staff turnover is 47.6%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. CMS gave it 1 out of 5 stars for health inspections, with a 4 out of 5 on quality measures and 3 out of 5 on staffing. The most recent inspection was May 2025.

Cashmere Post Acute runs 95 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts fall when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot at 37.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where questions pile up: 49 deficiencies, including nine tied to abuse and one at the harm level, plus a $15,340 fine. The most recent inspection was April 2026, and the health and quality stars both land at 3 of 5.

Life Care Center of Port Townsend runs a for-profit operation with 94 beds, and its staffing sits slightly above the national average at just under four nurse hours per resident day. That margin is thin, and weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care can feel different depending on when you visit. Staff turnover lands at 54%, noticeably higher than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $34,808 fine. Quality and inspection scores are strong, but those findings are the part worth asking about directly.

Life Care Center Of Puyallup runs a for-profit operation under a limited liability company, and its 102 beds are staffed at 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 35.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage drops about 15% below weekday levels. The trouble is on the health inspection side: a 2-out-of-5 rating, 37 deficiencies on record including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. That inspection history, last updated April 2026, is what drags an otherwise solid staffing picture down.

Shoreline Health And Rehabilitation runs 114 beds in Seattle under corporate ownership, and the numbers tell a fairly steady story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.96 hours per resident day, a hair above the national average, though weekends drop about 16% below the home's own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 35.1%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stick around. The home carries 38 deficiencies on its current record, but none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was recent, in March 2026.

Rainier Rehabilitation runs lean on trouble and heavy on staff. At 5.30 nurse hours per resident day, it's well above the national average, and its 21.1% turnover is less than half the national figure, a sign people tend to stay. Five deficiencies on record, none causing harm and none abuse-related, with an inspection as recent as August 2025. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops about 16% below the weekday level. That dip likely explains why CMS rates staffing only 3 out of 5 while inspection and quality measures both hit 5. If your family member needs steady weekday care, this home looks solid; ask specifically who's on the floor Saturday and Sunday.

Regency Wenatchee is a for-profit LLC home with 55 beds, and it has earned a 5-star health inspection rating from CMS. That matters, because a five-star inspection score with 33 deficiencies on record, one of them at the harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, tells you inspectors found real problems here but the home corrected them well enough to keep their top marks. Staffing sits at 4.46 nurse hours per resident day, about 15% above the national average, though weekends run roughly 20% leaner than weekdays. Turnover is 46%, essentially the national norm, and the home has paid one fine of $10,358.

South Hill runs a leaner ship than most on weekdays, 4.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, but that cushion thins out on weekends, when staffing drops about 21% below its own weekday pace. It's a for-profit LLC, and 63.5% of its nursing staff turned over in the past year, well above the 45.8% national figure. Inspectors were last in on June 18, 2025, and the home carries 30 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. Strong marks on quality measures and inspections sit alongside the turnover and weekend dip, worth asking about directly.

Ballard Center runs 142 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers sit below what you'd want to see: 3.44 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 8% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters because weekend shifts are when problems tend to surface. Annual turnover of 53.4% tops the national rate, so the people providing care are cycling through faster than average. The current inspection record shows 63 deficiencies, six of them abuse-related, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. Inspectors last visited in January 2025, and the health inspection rating came back at 2 out of 5, worth weighing carefully against the 4-star staffing score.

The Broadview Center runs 211 certified beds in Seattle under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the part that would give me pause. Eighty-four deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with a single CMS fine of $17,252. A health inspection rating of 1 out of 5 backs that up, and the most recent inspection was in June 2025, so this isn't stale history. Staffing sits at 3.83 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday numbers. Turnover at 41.2% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure rating is strong, but neither offsets that inspection pattern.

Benson Heights runs on a for-profit LLC structure with 91 certified beds in Kent, and the staffing numbers are genuinely its strong suit: 4.28 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, with a five-star CMS staffing rating. Retention is better than typical too, with turnover at 37.6% against a national 45.8%. What pulls the record down is everything else. There are 46 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $43,455. The health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5, and with a May 2026 inspection date, that record is recent enough to take seriously.

Mira Vista Care Center runs 61 certified beds in Mount Vernon under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits slightly under the national average, 3.81 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, with weekend coverage dropping roughly 19% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover is 47.2%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record shows 41 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though 6 are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. What stands out is the split: a 5/5 on quality measures and 4/5 on staffing against a 3/5 inspection rating, so the day-to-day care metrics look stronger than the survey history suggests.
