All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Bremerton,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Belmont Terrace runs 102 beds in Bremerton under corporate for-profit ownership, and its numbers tell a mixed story worth sorting through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.72 hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Staff turnover lands at 42.5%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure, though still meaning nearly half the workforce turning over in a year. The 78 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 2026. Strong quality measures and solid staffing stars sit alongside a 2-star inspection record; read the inspection reports themselves before deciding.
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.
Bremerton Trails Post Acute runs 125 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent under the national average, with weekends running another 11 percent leaner than weekdays, and annual turnover of 54.5 percent against a national 45.8 percent means the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection side is where it gets serious: 105 deficiencies on the current record, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus $174,068 in fines and a place in CMS's Special Focus Facility program. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating with a November 2025 survey date tells you regulators are watching closely.
