and enforcement history.
6 homes in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
Snohomish Health and Rehabilitation of Cascadia runs 91 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.78 nurse hours per resident day. That small gap hides a bigger one: weekend coverage drops about 10% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover is 56% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is where things get serious, 65 deficiencies, 7 at harm or jeopardy level, 8 abuse-related, and $195,291 in fines across three penalties. A 5/5 quality measure score can coexist with a 1/5 inspection rating because they measure different things, but the harm-level findings and abuse citations are the numbers a family should weigh hardest.
Linden Grove runs 130 beds in Puyallup under for-profit LLC ownership, and the inspection record is the first thing you should know about: 104 deficiencies on file, five of them serious enough to put residents in harm or jeopardy, plus eleven tied to abuse. Six fines add up to $193,178. Staffing sits at 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home itself provides on weekdays. Annual turnover is 60.2% against a 45.8% national figure, which means the aide who knows your mother's routine this month may be gone next quarter. The most recent inspection was January 14, 2026.
Mountain View Post Acute runs 74 certified beds in Ellensburg under corporate ownership, and the numbers that matter most here are the inspection ones. Seventy-two deficiencies sit on its current record, including seven at the harm or jeopardy level and eleven tied to abuse. CMS fined this home five times for a total of $241,528, and its most recent inspection in February 2026 landed at one star. Staffing is thin, too: 3.78 nurse hours per resident day is slightly under the national average, weekend coverage drops about 19% below weekdays, and turnover runs 62.2% against a national 45.8%. The quality measure score doesn't offset any of that.
Woodland Convalescent Center runs lean on nursing hours: 3.10 per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends drop another 22% below its own weekday coverage. That thin schedule matters more given what inspectors have logged, 21 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $31,793 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was June 20, 2025, so the record is recent. The health and quality measure ratings sit mid-range, but the staffing rating is the outlier at one star. For-profit corporate ownership. If you're weighing this one, ask how they cover weekends and what changed after those abuse findings.
Park Rose runs 5.14 nurse hours per resident day, comfortably above the national average of 3.86, so the raw staffing number looks like a strength. The catch is consistency and stability: weekend coverage drops about 16% below weekdays, and turnover sits at 49.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the staff leaves each year. Inspections tell the harder story, 76 deficiencies on record, including 4 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $256,703. For-profit corporate ownership, a 2/5 inspection rating, and a July 2025 inspection date round out a record that asks more questions than the staffing hours alone answer.
Parkside Care in Union Gap runs 88 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its record is one of the heaviest in the county. Sixty-three deficiencies sit on the current record, four at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $205,277. Those numbers line up with inspection and quality ratings of 1 out of 5 each. Staffing looks adequate on paper at 3.88 hours per resident day, barely above the national average, but weekends run about 14 percent thinner than weekdays, and that rating still comes in at 2 out of 5. The last inspection was March 2026, so this is a current picture, not an old one.
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.
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.
Spokane Health & Rehabilitation runs 125 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers tell a story. At 3.55 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover of 64.4% against a national 45.8% means the aides and nurses caring for your family member are, more often than not, new to the building.
The inspection record is the harder truth. Ninety-eight deficiencies, including six at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $137,457. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the country's most persistently troubled nursing homes.
Auburn Post Acute is a 96-bed for-profit home in King County, and the number that should stop you is 131 deficiencies on its current record, 11 of them at the level where a resident was actually harmed, 10 tied to abuse. That record, plus $380,862 in fines across six penalties, is why CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for the homes with the worst inspection histories. Nurse staffing of 3.66 hours per resident day sits just under the national average, and weekends run about 13% thinner than weekdays, so coverage gets lightest when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is roughly average, nothing here suggests the direct-care aides are the problem. The last inspection was January 31, 2025.
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.
Colville Health and Rehabilitation of Cascadia carries a federal Special Focus Facility designation, which CMS reserves for homes with a persistent record of poor care. The current inspection history backs that up: 54 deficiencies, six of them at the level where a resident was actually harmed or put in immediate jeopardy, and five tied to abuse. Staffing runs about 11% below the national average, and weekends drop roughly 22% below the home's own weekday coverage. With turnover at 67% against a national 45.8%, the people at the bedside keep changing. Two fines totaling $68,351 are on record, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025. For-profit corporate ownership. If you're considering this one, ask hard questions.
Olympic View Post Acute runs 101 certified beds, and the numbers behind its record deserve a close look before you consider it. Nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident per day, roughly 9% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, about 11% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is 63.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are often new to the building. The current inspection record lists 103 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm or jeopardy level and 11 abuse-related, with $144,479 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was May 13, 2025.
