Kin On Health Care Center runs a nonprofit home with 100 certified beds in Seattle, and its staffing is the strongest part of the story: 4.56 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, but annual turnover sits at 35.3%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure. Then there's the inspection record, which is where things get harder to square. Fifty deficiencies on the current record, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level and five abuse-related, with two fines totaling $19,468. The last inspection was February 2025. Strong staffing and a recent, difficult survey can coexist at the same address.

Josephine Caring Community runs a church-affiliated nonprofit home with 160 beds in Stanwood, and the staffing numbers are genuinely strong, 4.69 nurse hours per resident day, about a fifth above the national average, with turnover at 30.4% against a national 45.8%. That retention matters more than the raw hours, since familiar aides tend to catch changes in a resident's condition earlier. The caution is in the inspection record: 31 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. Weekend staffing also drops roughly 19% below its own weekday coverage, which is worth asking about directly, who is on the floor on a Saturday night, and how many.

Corwin Center At Emerald Heights runs 4.94 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 34.2% beats the national 45.8%, that's a stable, well-staffed building on paper. Weekends dip about 15% below weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family tends to visit then. The trouble sits elsewhere: 45 deficiencies on record, including 2 at the harm level and 4 abuse-related, plus one fine of $39,468. A 2/5 quality measure rating and a 3/5 inspection rating don't support the staffing strength. The last inspection was April 2025, so the record is current. Nonprofit ownership, strong staffing, but a deficiency history that needs direct questions.

Eliseo runs 187 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.33 hours per resident day, about 12% above the national average. But weekends drop roughly 10% below its own weekday levels, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. The record shows 53 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse; the last inspection was May 2025. Staff turnover of 43.2% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, though that's a low bar. CMS rates the home 2 out of 5 on health inspections but 5 out of 5 on quality measures, which means the clinical numbers look strong even as the inspection history doesn't.

Park Shore runs a non-profit shop with 28 beds in Seattle, and the staffing numbers look solid on paper, 4.26 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, with weekends holding steady rather than dropping off. What undercuts that picture is a 96.2% annual turnover rate, more than double the national figure, which means the people delivering those hours are largely new and constantly changing. The inspection record shows 50 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. Quality measures score well; the staffing and inspection side tells a different story.

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.

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.

Colville Tribal Convalescent C runs a federal facility in Nespelem with 44 certified beds, and the raw staffing number looks strong, 4.71 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86. The catch is consistency: weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 61% against a national 45.8%, which is a lot of churn for a small census to absorb. Inspections in April 2025 produced a 4-star health rating, but the record holds 19 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a single fine of $8,173.

Cheney Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 54 beds, and its staffing is the standout: 4.93 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average. That helps explain the four-star staffing rating, and turnover at 38.8% sits below the national 45.8%. Weekend hours dip about 10% from weekday levels, which is common but worth knowing if you're visiting Saturdays. The caution is in the record: 50 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. A three-star inspection and three-star quality rating land in the middle. Strong hands-on care, but the compliance history is the thing to ask about directly.

Bethany At Pacific sits in Everett with 80 certified beds and a church-affiliated nonprofit owner. Nurse staffing runs 4.80 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, though weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover is 36.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The record is more mixed than the staffing suggests. There are 48 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $42,477 fine. The most recent inspection was April 2025, so the picture is current. CMS rates quality measures at 5 stars and staffing at 4, but health inspections come in at 3.

Washington Veteran Home-Retsil runs 240 certified beds as a state-run home, and its staffing sits just barely above the national average, about 1% higher per resident day, with weekends running roughly 9% thinner than weekdays. Turnover lands at 45.1%, nearly matching the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the standout problem here. The inspection record is: 59 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus a $23,920 fine, and the most recent health inspection dates to May 2026. CMS gives it two stars for health inspections but five for staffing and four for quality measures, which is the tension worth sitting with.

Bethany At Silver Lake runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 151 certified beds in Everett, and its staffing is genuinely above average: 4.53 nurse hours per resident day against a national figure of 3.86. Turnover sits at 35.4%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national rate, though weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday levels. The inspection record is where things get complicated, 36 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus $121,447 in fines across two events. Its most recent inspection was March 2026, so the picture is current, but those harm and abuse findings are the kind of thing a family should ask about directly before deciding.

Emerald Care is a nonprofit home in Wapato with 82 certified beds, and its staffing sits at 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, but weekends run roughly 20% below its own weekday coverage, so the care you see on a Tuesday may not match a Sunday. The inspection record carries 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus a $12,735 fine; the last inspection was January 30, 2026. Annual turnover is 46.3%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. Strong quality measure scores don't erase that inspection history.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Willow Springs runs 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, and it holds 4 out of 5 stars on both health inspections and quality measures. But the census of 38 deficiencies includes one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, and staff turnover sits at 55.7% against a national 45.8%, the kind of churn that undercuts consistent care no matter how good the hours look on paper. Weekend staffing drops roughly 16% below its own weekday level, and there's a single $21,442 fine on record. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so the picture is current. A corporate-owned home with real strengths and real gaps.

Landmark Care and Rehabilitation runs 93 beds in Yakima under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and the 37.5% turnover rate is better than the typical home, though weekends dip about 15% below weekday coverage. The trouble is the inspection record: 64 deficiencies, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $277,867. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating against a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating tells you the people are there, but something in the care environment keeps going wrong.

Washington Odd Fellows Home runs a nonprofit operation with 53 certified beds in Walla Walla, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.33 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average. That's a real strength, though weekend coverage drops about 22% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 58.6% is well above the 45.8% national figure. The trouble shows up in its record: 54 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, plus a $67,616 fine. Its last inspection was August 2025. Strong quality scores don't cancel out that inspection history, and the staffing edge narrows considerably on weekends.
