Nursing homes across Thurston County, Washington, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Panorama City Conv & Rehab Ctr runs on 5.07 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its staff tends to stay, 28.9% turnover against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 17% below weekday levels, which is common but still worth asking about. The tradeoff shows up on inspections: 25 deficiencies on record, including three at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $42,904. Thurston County's Lacey location is nonprofit-owned and was inspected in January 2026. Strong staffing and quality scores, but the inspection history is the part to press them on directly.
Olympia Transitional Care and Rehabilitation runs 113 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.24 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even. Staff turnover is 41.7%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The current record shows 42 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one flagged as abuse-related; that's worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was April 24, 2026, so the findings are recent. Federal ratings put quality measures and staffing at 4 of 5 stars, health inspections at 3.
Lacey Post Acute & Rehabilitation runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.92 hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 54.5% against a national 45.8%, so the same faces aren't always there. The inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a single fine of $7,443. A recent June 2025 inspection and strong quality measure scores don't erase that deficiency history or the thin staffing margin.
Regency Olympia runs 28 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing comes in at 4.56 hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average. That's a real margin in a small building, though weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 66.7% sits well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where it gets harder to read: 29 deficiencies on file, including four tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level, with a single fine of $8,278. A recent inspection date of April 2026 and 4- and 5-star inspection and quality ratings sit alongside that. The staffing number looks good on paper; the churn and the abuse-related findings are what a family should ask about directly.
Nurse staffing at Puget Sound Care averages 4.02 hours per resident day, about 4% above the national figure, which is a real strength. The catch is consistency: weekend coverage drops roughly 16% below the home's own weekday level, so care on Saturdays and Sundays looks thinner than the average suggests. Staff turnover sits at 56% against a national average near 46%, meaning a large share of caregivers are still new to the building. Inspections in January 2026 produced 21 deficiencies, including one causing harm and one tied to abuse, plus an $8,018 fine. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company.
Crystal Cove Post Acute runs 96 beds in Lacey under for-profit LLC ownership, and CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent record of poor care. The numbers back that up: 132 deficiencies on the current record, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $215,060. Nurse staffing sits at 3.77 hours per resident day, slightly under the national average, and drops about 15% on weekends, when coverage thins out. Staff turnover is the sharper problem, 69.7% a year against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are new to the building.
Woodard Creek runs 152 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits barely above the national average, 3.89 hours per resident day against 3.86, while weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday levels. The bigger issue is who stays: annual turnover hits 71.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and CMS gives staffing just 2 of 5 stars. Its inspection record shows 77 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and 13 tied to abuse, with a $12,735 fine and a June 2025 inspection. Quality measures rate 4 of 5 stars, but that's the outlier here, not the pattern.
