Staff turnover

Life Care Center of Kirkland runs 190 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.87 hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average, so there's no cushion there. Weekends drop about 21% below weekday coverage, which matters when residents need help on a Saturday. Staff turnover is 50.5% against a 45.8% national rate, and the inspection record shows 61 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 11 tied to abuse. Two fines total $53,560. The last inspection was November 2025, so the record is current.

Avalon Healthcare Bellingham runs a 105-bed for-profit operation in Whatcom County, and its staffing numbers are the strongest thing going for it: 4.50 nurse hours per resident day, about 17% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage. The tradeoff is retention, 52.3% annual turnover, higher than the 45.8% national rate, and a current record showing 29 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $32,298. Inspections are recent, from December 2025, and the federal ratings split: four stars for health inspections and staffing, five for quality measures. Strong care numbers, but the deficiency record is what pulls the overall picture down.

Canterbury House runs a 100-bed for-profit operation in Auburn, and its staffing picture is genuinely solid: 3.85 nurse hours per resident day, right at the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 8% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 35.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The trouble is the inspection record. Fifty-seven deficiencies, two serious enough to risk harm, three tied to abuse, and a $68,159 fine. A 2-out-of-5 inspection rating against a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating tells you the people are there but the systems around them keep failing. The most recent inspection was January 2026, so that record is current, not old news.

Royal Park runs 164 beds in Spokane under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers sit right at the edge: 3.82 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average, with weekends about 14% thinner than weekdays and half the staff turning over each year. The bigger issue is the inspection record, 56 deficiencies, seven serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, and four fines adding up to $111,830. A recent inspection date of May 2026 means the record is current, not stale. The quality measure scores look strong, but those come from resident assessments, while the harm-level findings and abuse citations come from what surveyors actually saw on site.

Three Rivers Care is a for-profit LLC home in Centralia with 83 beds, and the numbers tell a mostly steady story. Nurse staffing runs 4.27 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 18% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. The inspection record shows 9 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, though 2 are abuse-related; the last inspection was November 2025, so the picture is current. A 5/5 inspection rating and 4/5 quality measures sit against a middling 3/5 on staffing, which is worth asking about directly.

Clarkston Health and Rehab of Cascadia runs 90 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is mixed. At 3.47 nurse hours per resident day it sits about 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday coverage, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. What stands out more is retention: 22.5% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8% means this building keeps its nurses far better than most. The trouble is the inspection record, 53 deficiencies, 2 at harm or jeopardy level, 7 abuse-related, and a $32,711 fine, with the most recent look in August 2025. Strong quality scores and weak inspection history rarely tell the same story.

Americana Health and Rehabilitation runs 74 certified beds in Longview, and its nurse staffing sits just above the national average, 3.93 hours per resident day against 3.86. That margin is thin, and weekends dip roughly 15% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the question of when you visit matters. Staff turnover is 33.3%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people tend to stay. The trade-offs show up elsewhere: 20 deficiencies on record, one at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a 2/5 quality measure rating against 4/5 for inspections and staffing. Ownership is for-profit corporate, and the most recent inspection was November 2025.

Port Washington Post Acute runs about 98 certified beds in Bremerton under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits almost exactly at the national average, 3.88 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. That's the good news, and it's thin: weekend staffing drops roughly 9% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 52.5% against a 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where it gets serious. CMS rates health inspections 1 out of 5, with 118 total deficiencies on the current record, including four at harm or jeopardy level and five abuse-related. Three fines total $131,299, and the home sits in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes.

Bellevue Post Acute runs about 4.01 nurse hours per resident day, which is above the national average, but that number gets thinner on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 14% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover is 63.7%, well above the national 45.8%, so residents are being cared for by a workforce that changes over constantly. The current inspection record carries 72 deficiencies, eight of them abuse-related, though none at the harm or jeopardy level; the health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 reflects that. Quality measures score 5 of 5, staffing 2 of 5. It's a for-profit LLC with 69 beds, most recently inspected January 10, 2026.

Sharon Care Center runs a small house, 42 beds, and it's staffed well above average, about 5.43 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86. That matters. But nearly every aide and nurse cycling through in a year? Turnover sits at 98.2%, more than double the national rate, so the people showing up are often brand new. Inspections turned up 36 deficiencies on the current record, three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy, and the last visit was September 2025. The higher-than-average staffing is real, but constant churn can undercut what that coverage is worth.

Bothell Health Care runs a 99-bed for-profit home in Snohomish County, and its staffing is genuinely above average, 4.79 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86, with turnover at 38.7% versus 45.8% nationally. That's real. But weekend staffing drops about 19% below its own weekday level, and the inspection record is where the picture darkens: 48 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, with two fines totaling $59,114 and the last inspection in April 2025. The staffing numbers say one thing about this home; the survey history says another, and families should weigh both.

Avamere Rehabilitation of Issaquah runs 140 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is mixed. Total nurse coverage sits at 4.08 hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 10% below the home's own weekday levels, so the people there on Saturday aren't getting the same attention as on Tuesday. Turnover is 42.4%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The harder numbers are the inspection record: 56 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and a $48,663 fine. The most recent inspection was March 2025. Quality measures score well; the inspection history is what pulls this down.

Tacoma Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 150 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.89 hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real margin, though weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday levels, so the weekday numbers carry the average. Turnover lands at 45.9%, essentially identical to the national 45.8%. The inspection record is where things get complicated: 19 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus a $36,446 fine. The most recent inspection was June 2026, so the picture is current rather than stale. Strong staffing paired with a serious deficiency history is the tension worth weighing.

Life Care Center of Federal Way runs 157 beds under for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average. That looks decent until you see the weekends, when coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday level, and turnover runs 53% against a national 45.8%. The bigger problem is the inspection record: 82 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse, and $98,970 in fines, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. Resident care measures score well, but a one-star health inspection rating with that many serious findings is what a family should weigh hardest here.

Nurse staffing here runs about 4.85 hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage holds nearly level with weekdays. That helps explain the four out of five stars on health inspections from the last visit, which was recent. The concerns sit elsewhere: staff turnover is 52.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing workforce turns over in a year. The record shows 25 deficiencies, including one at the level that caused actual harm and three tied to abuse, plus a fine near $20,000. Individual for-profit ownership. Strong numbers at the bedside; a harder record to look past.

Richland Post Acute is a for-profit, limited-liability operation with 71 beds, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. Total nurse coverage runs 4.23 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, but weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday level, and the low staffing star reflects that unevenness. Turnover sits at 43.8%, slightly better than the national 45.8%. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 39 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus a $59,762 fine. A June 2025 inspection is recent, so the record is current. Strong quality measures and a 4-star inspection rating sit alongside real staffing and deficiency problems.

Salmon Creek runs on a 120-bed for-profit corporate model, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, just above the 3.86 national figure, a margin thin enough that weekends, which drop about 13% below its own weekday coverage, can erase it. The bigger concern is who's providing that care: 57.2% annual turnover means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, well past the 45.8% national rate, which matters for residents who need consistent caregivers. Inspections in January 2026 turned up 49 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, and the health inspection rating sits at 2 of 5 stars. Nothing on the record rises to harm or jeopardy level.

Soundview Rehabilitation runs 44 beds in Anacortes under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.85 nurse hours per resident day. That number looks fine until you notice weekends drop about 21% below weekdays, which matters if your family member needs help on a Saturday. Turnover runs 50%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so caregivers cycle through. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 72 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and 10 tied to abuse. The last inspection was March 2026, so the record is current. Quality and staffing each earned three stars from CMS, but two stars on health inspections tells you where the problems concentrate.

Renton Health & Rehabilitation runs 99 certified beds under a for-profit LLC, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.16 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, though weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover lands at 43.9%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The problems show up elsewhere: 65 deficiencies on the current record, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 1 abuse-related, with two fines totaling $256,725. A 2/5 inspection rating against a 4/5 staffing rating tells the story, good daily coverage undermined by uneven weekends and a serious regulatory track record. The last inspection was January 13, 2026.

Sequim Bay Post Acute runs 100 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.73 hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 15% below what the home provides on weekdays, which matters because that's when families often visit and when fewer eyes are on residents. Staff turnover is the sharper concern: 56.4% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows 50 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a single fine of $15,185. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections are where the gaps show.
