The Best Nursing Home Communities in King County, WA

"I think my father is happier at Leon Sullivan Health Care Center. "

"The staff here are so wonderful and caring. My mother-in-law is in stage 6 Alzheimer's and wanders, scared, and previously wanting to go home. Now this is her home. The staff treat her so well, as if she were their mother! Mostbfacilities (even ones I have worked in) smell horrible, but this one does not. We love the care and respect she receives here. Also, she may fight getting dressed and showered, but she is always clean and teeth brushed! We couldnt ask for a better facility! There are others much closer for us, but they cant come close to the care we have received from Seamar. Don't let the area of the facility bother you. It is very safe and secure. Two thumbs up!!! Thank you to the staff for taking such good care of our mom! "

"There are a lot of activities available to the elders, and the activity leaders are often optimistic, which adds a good vibe to the environment. Patients who are initially unwilling to join the activities are eager and enthusiastic by the end. Food selection is also quite good, and the chefs are very attentive to the dietary needs of each patient. Many services are provided, such as physical therapy, exercise circle, and occupational therapy. The staff are accommodating to the patient's and their visitors' needs: we would be given access to the kitchen and supplies (such as straws and liquid thickener) to make things easier. We were really relieved to put our family member in the care of this facility, and it also made caring for him easier. Socializing with the residents is encouraged, and because of this, we made a few friends among the other patients. The only reason why this facility receives a 4 instead of a 5 is because a few individual staff are sometimes unfriendly. "

"My mom is at Swedish Acute Rehabilitation Unit - Cherry Hill. She is in their intensive rehab. She had her stroke a week ago yesterday. She had just been in the hospital for a week, and they moved her to rehab on Wednesday. The room that she has is very pleasant, and she's on her own. They seem to be quite attentive. She's getting three hours of rehab a day, so I like that. I would give them a 5 just because the people there are concentrating on trying to repair them, so that's what I like. The three-hour-a-day seems helpful in her recovery process. The staff is very professional. They're very warm and friendly with her. They keep everything in shape and keep her going. Her speech was affected greatly, so she is in that frustrating stage when you're trying to get words out and not finding them, and so that's hard, but they work with her to understand what she wants. My mom does not like the food. She's a very picky eater. I sat with a nutritionist yesterday and we talked about things that would make her not feel good about eating because she is picky and grazes rather than sit down eat a whole meal. So, he helped me figure out how to request the food. They don't do social things. The activity is physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. That's what they're concentrating on. It does seem stimulating to her."

"English and Japanese are spoken here mainly. They are attentive and always kind. You can tell the care takers are professional in every way and respect is always shown.There are games played at all levels, so everyone can enjoy it. There is light exercise depending on the individual's capabilities (chair or standing). Also there is entertainment depending on the theme of the day which could mean group sing-a-long or arts and crafts. The lunches are always delicious. I take my mother here as often as I can and she is always looking forward to it. "

"Well I had a broken leg from riding a bike to work and I had a schedule with Swedish for a surgery. When I went in there, all the medical staffs were so nice. They provided great hospitality. They also promised that the surgery was no problem. It was, by the time I was done with my surgery. I decided to make this hospital my main "savior." They gave me an ending paper sayingChoosing a home health or hospice care program through Swedish Visiting Nurse Services means that expert medical care continues in your home.

"My father was in Skyline Health Services for six weeks. One of the real drawbacks was you pay an initial payment of $1 million to get in. There were two buildings there: one that has senior living, and another with various stages of care, including total care, which is what he needed. He needed nursing care, physical therapy, help being fed, and all that; so he was in that facility. They were really wonderful for my father, but very very expensive. Medicare covered him for six weeks and once that was done, I moved him back to his previous facility to be closer to my mother, but he passed away within three days of that. It's a lovely building with lovely people, and it has very high-quality care, but it's very, very expensive. Where he was, they had full support for my father's needs. They have superb support. They have a van that will take you to places you need to go. It's a very lovely facility and very welcoming. The nurses who were in my father's care were wonderful; they were very patient and well trained. They were very experienced in using all the equipment, helping him getting in and out of bed, and taking care of him totally. On the outside, it's very pretty, and he had a nice room. They also had gardens for people, patios, and balconies, and it's a very lovely building. It's also in a wonderful location."

"With its beautiful views of the city this place is so upscale that you would expect to see a star walk out the front door. The staff is exceptional and full of life. They offer the residents more to do than there are hour's in the day. The outings that the residents go on are great and they offer the residents the opportunity to live independabtly and on their own. They are so warm and loving. "

"My husband was in Park Shore for rehab for one month. It's a full care facility, from independent living to nursing community and rehabilitation. It was really good, and I'd like my husband to be there, but they didn't have any rooms. They had to take their clients first before they can take anyone from the outside, but they loved him and he loved them, too. Even though they managed to vaccinate everyone twice, they wouldn't let me in the front door. My husband came out of there fully vaccinated. He also had occupational and physical therapy. They helped him to a point where he could not even stand on his own to be able to walk in a cane."

"Sales staff lied to us about aging in place. Several times in the 7 months my mother stayed nursing said they couldn’t provide care. A fall that broke my mother’s arm was treated with negligence by not calling 911 for hours or immediately transporting to hospital. Promises to resolve issues with billing resulted in a letter incorrectly charging us for several thousands whilst my mother was lying in hospice. Care staff is untrained in dealing with memory patients. Please do not place your loved ones here."

"I was very satisfied with the care the staff gave to my brother. My brother was the first disabled patient they accepted; they were very tentative at first but thanks to my sister and her undying tenacity, they finally agreed to accept him. The therapy my brother received was amazing, restoring his verbal skills as well as muscle strengthening. He went to rehab everyday, the speech therapist came to him and they were all kind and supportive. The activities coordinator was wonderful, as well as the rest of the staff. The facility is a bit dated but who cares...once in a blue moon I would pop in with my brother to say "hello". Many of the staff I no longer know, but I am so grateful to Burien Nursing Rehab for all that they did for my brother."

"The Kenney is where I wanted my mother to go to. I like the facility. It has a really good reputation. It's been around this town for years and it has been maintained for a long time. My mother thought the price was too much. That's why she didn't go there. What's neat is you can start out there independent and they take you til you're fully dependent. It goes all across that span and it's got a very high reputation for its care. The rooms are very nice. It depends on how much you want to pay but the small rooms are small. The food is very good. The dining room looked really convenient like any one could come and go in there and it's very spacious. After we found out how much it was, that was kind of the end of it for her. "

"I'm in Park West Care Center in Seattle for rehab. It's a nice-looking building, it's white, and it is very attractive from the outside. The room I'm in is very adequate for me. It's a 2-person room and from my bed, I can look out the window. I'm on the backside of the building so I kind of look out on the alley but it's okay. They're very good at keeping the place clean. The staff is very good and the people who care for me are good too. They provide activities, but I can't take part in them yet since I'm having to go through rehab. They have bingo and they usually have a movie several times a week. They have entertainment that comes and plays music for them. The food is quite good too. "

Welcome to Avamere Rehabilitation at Park West! Avamere Rehabilitation at Park West is a 5 Star Rated Facility by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Park West is the premier skilled nursing facility in West Seattle, with two zero-deficiency surveys two years in a row! We provide compassionate and personal 24-hour skilled care and rehabilitation services in a comfortable and friendly environment. At Park West, caring is our main concern. We believe the most effective way to provide compassionate care is to maintain high medical integrity, build a team spirit among staff, and provide friendly, beautiful surroundings for our patients and their visitors. Although most transitions are not easy, we strive to facilitate that process with an environment where our patients and guests feel informed and comfortable. The care in our facility focuses on differing populations of individuals. Many individuals in our population are comprised of patients requiring several days or weeks of medical care and therapy before they can safely return home (or to a lower level of care). The remaining population is individuals who require long-term skilled nursing care (lasting weeks, months or even years) as they are unable to return home due to advanced age or illness. Most of these individuals will remain with us until they pass away. Based on each individuals needs, some patients receive rehabilitation (therapy) services to either restore or, where possible, improve to prior physical functioning. For the individual needing long-term skilled nursing care, the attending physician and facility staff will do what they can to assist the individual with the activities of daily living and mobility based on each individuals circumstance. It is important for you to understand, as a patient or a loved one of a patient, that advancing age brings with it the inevitable effects of aging that no medical care or treatment can change or cure.
