Staff turnover

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.

Bailey-Boushay House is a 35-bed nonprofit in Seattle, and its inspection record shows 48 deficiencies with none rising to actual harm or jeopardy, but four abuse-related citations stand out, and that combination tells you the problems found were serious enough to document without crossing into immediate-danger territory. The last inspection was in May 2025, so the picture is current. With health inspection and quality measure ratings both at 3 out of 5, this home sits squarely in the middle of the federal pack rather than above it. For a small nonprofit with only 35 beds, 48 deficiencies is a lot of paperwork to accumulate. Ask to see the plan of correction for those four abuse citations specifically.

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.

Everett Transitional Care Services has real strengths on paper: 4.26 nurse hours per resident day is about 10% above the national average, and its last inspection was recent, in December 2025. The problems sit elsewhere. Staff turnover runs at 56.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, and weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below weekday levels, the stretch when families often can't visit. Inspections also logged 19 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus $36,243 in fines across two penalties. Quality measure scores sit at 2 of 5 stars despite the strong staffing numbers, so the bedside care doesn't track with the hours on the schedule.

Garden Village runs a nonprofit operation with 101 certified beds, and the raw staffing number looks good: 4.51 nurse hours per resident day, about 17% above the national average. But that average hides a lot. Weekend coverage drops roughly 15% below the home's own weekday level, and nearly 70% of staff turn over each year, well above the 45.8% national figure. High turnover at that rate makes it hard to keep consistent caregivers who know the residents. The inspection record is the bigger concern. Sixty-five deficiencies on the current record, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and nine tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $74,671. The last inspection was September 2025.

Bridges To Home is a twelve-bed nonprofit home in Shoreline, and its inspection record is the main thing to know before you call. Fifteen deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, is a lot for a home this small, smaller buildings usually generate shorter lists, not longer ones. There's one fine on record, $8,278. The last inspection was August 4, 2025, so the findings are recent, not stale. With twelve beds, staffing is worth asking about directly: who covers nights, and what happens when someone calls out. Ask for the plan of correction and how the abuse-related findings were resolved.
