Nurse hours

Staff turnover
39%
Serious cites
0

Life Care Center of Skagit Valley runs 4.20 nursing hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 39.3% is lower than the 45.8% typical elsewhere, both points in its favor. The catch is how thin weekends get: staffing drops roughly 16% below the home's own weekday level, so care may look different depending on when you visit. Inspections tell a mixed story too, 52 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with $86,222 in fines across two cases. A 150-bed corporate-owned home that scores well on quality measures but carries a heavy inspection record.

0

Avamere Rehabilitation at Ridgemont runs 4.02 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average, and its 43% turnover is slightly better than the typical 45.8%. Those are real positives. The catch is in the details: weekend staffing drops roughly 9% below weekday levels, and the current record carries 34 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. State inspectors last visited in September 2025 and rated the home 4 out of 5 on health inspections and quality measures, yet only 2 out of 5 on staffing. That gap, good survey results sitting alongside thin staffing marks and dozens of cited problems, is what keeps this for-profit, limited-liability home in middling territory. Worth a visit and specific questions.

Staff turnover
56%
Serious cites
0

Edmonds Post Acute runs 128 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. The bigger issue is consistency: weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 56.4% against a national 45.8%, so the staff you meet may not be there next year. The health inspection record carries 91 deficiencies with four tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was March 2026. Quality measures score well, but that inspection history is what pulls the overall picture down.

Frontier Rehabilitation and Extended Care runs 140 certified beds in Longview, and the staffing picture is genuinely better than most: 4.21 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with turnover at 41.2% versus 45.8% nationally. Weekends thin out about 12% from weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The inspection record is recent and clean at the serious end, 23 deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. What pulls the quality measure rating down to 2 out of 5 is the piece families feel day to day: falls, infections, weight loss, the outcomes that don't show up on a tour.

Willapa Harbor Care runs 3.68 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 42.9%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 31 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was August 8, 2025. This is a for-profit LLC with 60 certified beds, and its health and quality measure ratings both sit at 4 out of 5 stars while staffing lands at 3. The pattern here is a home that inspects well and scores well on quality measures, with a thinner staffing cushion than average, especially on weekends.

View Ridge Care Center runs 4.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and its 37.5% turnover is better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Weekends dip about 10% below weekday staffing, so coverage isn't perfectly level. The current record shows 30 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. State inspectors were last on site in November 2025, so the picture is recent. What holds the grade back is mostly the middle-of-the-road inspection and staffing ratings against those stronger quality measures.

Stafholt runs 57 beds in Blaine under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover is 52.3%, noticeably above the 45.8% national figure. The 42 deficiencies on record include two at the harm level and six tied to abuse, with $47,182 in fines. Its last inspection was February 2026, so the record is recent. Quality measures score well; the inspection history is where the concern sits.

Colonial Vista runs 3.89 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86, so it isn't short-staffed on paper, though weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 40.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the last inspection was recent, August 2025. What stands out is the deficiency record: 25 findings on the current record, including one abuse-related citation, but none at the harm or jeopardy level. That combination of a 4/5 inspection rating and a 4/5 quality measure rating against that many deficiencies is the tension worth asking about on a tour.

Nurse staffing at Madison Post Acute runs about 4.21 hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, and the staff retention is genuinely better than most, 35.2% turnover against a national 45.8%. Weekends get thinner, though, about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage. The part worth slowing down on is the inspection record: 55 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse, plus a $71,318 fine. The most recent inspection was July 2025. Ownership is a for-profit partnership. Solid staffing and quality marks sit alongside a deficiency history that a family should ask about directly before deciding.

Lacey Post Acute & Rehabilitation runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.92 hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 54.5% against a national 45.8%, so the same faces aren't always there. The inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a single fine of $7,443. A recent June 2025 inspection and strong quality measure scores don't erase that deficiency history or the thin staffing margin.

Regency Harmony House runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection rating and a recent survey date of November 2025, with 15 deficiencies on record and none at the harm or jeopardy level. Staffing sits at 3.70 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 22% below the home's own weekday coverage, so families should ask how that gap gets filled. Turnover is the bright spot: 27.5% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. The weaker piece is the two-star quality measure rating, and three abuse-related deficiencies appear on the current record, worth asking about directly.

Agility Health and Rehabilitation runs 120 certified beds in University Place under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average. Turnover lands at 42.3%, a touch better than the 45.8% norm, though weekend coverage drops about 16% below its own weekday level, so care can thin out when families visit most. The inspection record is where things get harder to ignore: 41 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse. Its most recent inspection was June 9, 2026, so the picture is current, not stale. Quality measures score well, but that record is worth asking about directly.

Life Care Center of South Hill runs a hundred beds in Puyallup, and the staffing is genuinely its strong suit, 4.80 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, with turnover at 40.2% sitting below the 45.8% norm. The catch is weekends, when hours drop about 18% below the home's own weekday level. On inspections, CMS rated it 4 of 5 stars, though the record shows 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $17,388. The last inspection was November 2025, so the picture is recent.

Valley View runs 4.19 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 9% more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 38% sits below the 45.8% national figure, both signs of a stable floor. Weekends thin out, though, running about 13% lighter than weekdays, so ask how coverage holds up on a Sunday. The record shows 59 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, and the last inspection was March 2026. With 136 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, the staffing is the stronger story here; the inspection history is the one worth reading closely.

Avamere Rehabilitation at Park West runs 137 beds as a for-profit limited liability company, and its staffing numbers look decent on paper, 4.07 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average. But look closer and the picture shifts: weekends run roughly 9% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover hits 53.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record is where the real concern sits. CMS gives the health inspection side 2 out of 5 stars, with 58 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse. A $29,820 fine and a July 2025 inspection round out the record. Quality and staffing stars read well, but those don't offset what surveyors actually found.

Arlington Health and Rehabilitation runs 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 27.6% is well below the 45.8% national figure, that kind of retention usually means consistent caregivers who know the residents. Weekends thin out by roughly 15%, so ask how coverage holds up on Saturdays and Sundays. The concerning part sits in the inspection record: 38 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus a $173,496 fine. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company. The most recent inspection was January 26, 2026, so the record is current. Strong staffing and quality scores don't erase those findings.

Avamere at Pacific Ridge runs a 102-bed for-profit home in Tacoma, and the staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 5.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 11% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 36%, below the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The inspection record tells a different story. Sixty-nine deficiencies are on file, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Three fines total $57,783, and the two-star health inspection and quality ratings reflect that history, even though staffing earned four stars. The most recent inspection was April 24, 2026. Good coverage, but a documented pattern of serious problems worth asking about directly.

Hallmark Manor runs leaner on nursing hours than the typical U.S. home, about 3.61 per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage. That matters because its inspection record carries 60 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $32,175 fine. The ownership is for-profit corporate, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025. Where this home stands out is turnover: 29.4% versus a national average around 46%, which suggests a steadier crew than most. Quality measures score well even as the inspection picture stays middling, so the honest read is a place with real strengths and real compliance problems sitting side by side.

Regency Olympia runs 28 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing comes in at 4.56 hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average. That's a real margin in a small building, though weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 66.7% sits well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where it gets harder to read: 29 deficiencies on file, including four tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level, with a single fine of $8,278. A recent inspection date of April 2026 and 4- and 5-star inspection and quality ratings sit alongside that. The staffing number looks good on paper; the churn and the abuse-related findings are what a family should ask about directly.

Avalon Healthcare - Tacoma runs 81 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing of 4.42 hours per resident day sits about 15% above the national average of 3.86, a real strength, though weekend coverage drops roughly 17% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover lands at 47.1%, slightly above the national 45.8%. What pulls this home down is its inspection record: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 82 total deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, along with a single fine of $24,814. The most recent inspection was July 30, 2025. The numbers point to a home that staffs well on paper but has struggled to keep residents safe.
