Our read on Seattle Medical Post Acute Care

Seattle Medical Post Acute Care runs a for-profit operation with 103 beds, and the staffing numbers are genuinely strong on paper, 5.71 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 48% above the national average, with turnover at 43.4% that's slightly better than the typical home. The problem is what inspections keep finding. Eighty-two deficiencies sit on the current record, nine of them serious enough to endanger residents and eight tied to abuse. Six fines totaling $73,318 have piled up, and the most recent inspection was just September 2025, so this isn't a stale record. Quality measures score well and staffing looks adequate, but those inspection findings at the harm level tell a different story about what daily life there can actually be like.
