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.

The Terraces At Skyline runs 4.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19 percent above the national average, and weekends dip only about 5 percent below its own weekday staffing, a modest gap by industry standards. What holds it back is the inspection record: 55 deficiencies, five of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. The last survey was recent, in August 2025, and the two-out-of-five inspection rating reflects those findings rather than any immediate danger. Quality measures and staffing both score four out of five. Nonprofit ownership at 34 beds suggests a small, closely run home; ask specifically about the abuse-related citations and what changed afterward.

Avamere Transitional Care of Puget Sound runs a 60-bed for-profit operation in Tacoma, and its staffing is the clearest strength: 5.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, with a 5-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating and turnover at 34.3%, well below the 45.8% national figure. Weekends do run about 16% leaner than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even. The caution is the inspection record: 45 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $35,875 fine. Quality measures rate 4 out of 5, and the last inspection was recent, in November 2025. Strong hands-on care, but a paper trail worth reading closely.

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.

Columbia Lutheran Home runs 5.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more staffing than the national average, and its staff turnover of 41% sits a bit below the national figure. The trade-off shows up in the inspection record: 46 deficiencies on file, including four tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level. A March 2025 inspection means the picture is current. Weekend staffing drops about 11% from weekday levels, and while quality measures score well, the inspection history is what keeps this from being a stronger pick. Worth a visit, with questions ready about that abuse category.

Avalon Care Center Federal Way runs 4.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 38.3% sits well below the 45.8% national figure, both signs of a stable floor. Weekend staffing dips about 12% from weekday levels, so coverage thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. The home carries 48 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and it was inspected as recently as November 2025. The quality measure rating is strong; the health inspection rating is middling, which is where the deficiency count shows up.

The Oaks At Timberline runs a tight ship on the clinical side, 4.07 nursing hours per resident day, about 6 percent above the national average, with a 5/5 on health inspections and another 5/5 on quality measures. There's a catch worth knowing: weekend staffing drops roughly 16 percent below its weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week, even though the overall number looks strong. Staff turnover sits at 27.6 percent, well below the 45.8 percent national figure, which suggests people stick around. The 14 deficiencies on record carry no harm or jeopardy findings and nothing abuse-related. A corporate for-profit operator, inspected most recently in March 2026.

Caroline Kline Galland Home runs on unusually heavy nurse staffing, 6.21 hours per resident day, roughly 61% above the national average, with weekends dipping about 12% below its own weekday pace. That kind of coverage usually shows up in the quality numbers, and it does here: the quality measure rating sits at the top. The tradeoff is on the inspection side, where 35 deficiencies are on record, including one abuse-related finding and none flagged at the harm or jeopardy level. The last survey was in March 2026. This is a nonprofit home in Seattle with strong day-to-day care numbers and a survey history worth asking about directly.

The Oaks At Lakewood sits at 80 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a fairly steady story. Nurse staffing runs 4.08 hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 14% below the home's own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 28.6%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The 28 deficiencies on record include two abuse-related citations, but none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in January 2026.

Good Samaritan Health Care Center runs 105 certified beds in Yakima under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers here stand out for the right reasons. Nurses provide 4.46 hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average, and staff turnover sits at 22.8%, about half the national rate of 45.8%. That kind of retention matters, since it usually means caregivers who know the residents. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about directly. The inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though five are abuse-related and deserve a specific question. The last inspection was in late 2025, so the record is current.

Avamere Rehabilitation of Shoreline runs 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, so staffing is the strongest part of the picture here. Weekend coverage, though, drops about 18% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 42.6%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating and 92 deficiencies on the current record, 14 of them abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. None were cited at the harm or jeopardy level. The 5-of-5 quality measure rating contrasts sharply with that inspection history.

Martha and Mary Health Service in Poulsbo runs on a nonprofit model with 135 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are its clearest strength: 4.77 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 23 percent above the national average. Weekend coverage drops about 15 percent from weekday levels, a gap worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 35.9 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which suggests people tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 46 deficiencies on the current record, two tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was February 2026, so the picture is current. Strong quality scores and staffing carry real weight here; the deficiency history is what holds it back.

Redmond Care And Rehabilitation Center runs about 3.66 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday staffing. That's the tradeoff you're weighing against a 26.2% turnover rate, well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay.
Its inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. State surveyors were last in on June 13, 2025, so that picture is current. The for-profit corporate owner runs 139 beds, and the home's quality measure scores are strong. Read the staffing pattern carefully: slightly thin overall, thinner on weekends, but a stable workforce.

Bainbridge Island Health & Rehab runs on a stable crew: 23.3% annual turnover against a national average near 46%, which matters more than the headline staffing number. Nurse coverage sits at 3.91 hours per resident day, barely above the 3.86 national average, and weekends drop roughly 10% below weekday levels, so the consistency comes from who stays, not from deep benches. The record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, and the last inspection was November 2025. For a for-profit LLC, steady retention and clean inspection scores are the real story here.

Weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families often visit. Turnover is 41.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 50 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but four are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The last inspection was July 8, 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well; the inspection side is where the caution lives.

Staff turnover sits at 25.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, and the home is a nonprofit corporation. The inspection record is where it gets complicated, 33 deficiencies currently on file, including 3 at the harm level and 4 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $194,266. The most recent inspection was April 2025. Strong staffing and quality scores, but that deficiency history is worth asking about directly.

North Auburn Care runs 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, and weekend staffing drops roughly 15% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 32.9%, well under the national 45.8%. Those numbers look decent on paper, which makes the inspection record the real story here: 103 deficiencies, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a single $12,035 fine and a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating. The most recent survey was April 2025. This is a for-profit limited liability company with 125 beds, and the gap between its staffing and its inspection history is what a family should weigh most.

Buena Vista Healthcare in Colville runs 4.28 nursing hours per resident day, which is about 11% more than the national average, that's the strongest part of its case. Weekend coverage drops roughly 12% below weekday levels, so families should ask who's actually on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. The 43.5% annual turnover is slightly better than the national 45.8%, and its last inspection was in February 2025, so the record is current. Against that, 17 deficiencies sit on file, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none are abuse-related. The single fine of $13,104 is modest by industry standards.

North Valley Hospital runs on 4.67 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 41.2% sits below the national rate. Inspectors have cited 20 deficiencies, though none rose to harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse, and the home was last inspected in February 2026. Weekend staffing dips about 12% from weekday levels, and its quality measure rating of 2 out of 5 is the weak spot against 5s for inspection and staffing. It's a hospital-district owned home of 42 beds, small enough to know its residents, and the numbers suggest the hands-on care is there even where the clinical outcomes data isn't.

Washington Soldiers Home runs on state government ownership, and the numbers show a facility that's mostly steady on care quality but carries some real inspection baggage. Nurse staffing sits at 4.27 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, though weekends run about 11% lighter than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover lands at 40.7%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a relatively stable workforce. The concern is the inspection record: 31 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm level and 4 tied to abuse, with one fine of $10,358. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the picture is current.
