Nursing Home Communities in Seattle, WA

"I really liked Bayview Retirement Community. It had a beautiful lobby and a friendly atmosphere. It’s very clean; the staff is great. "

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

"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."

"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. "

"I found the facility to be alright. Funishings and decor were sparse and dated, they felt a little old and dingy. It was often difficult to find people who were working and many were not friendly or helpful. I think that the rooms needed to be freshened up, the paint and fixures needed updating. the workers didn't seem to be that friendly with my relative who was staying there. they were a little rough when dealing with her. maybe they are overworked and underpaid? the atmosphere seemed sad i believe that more could be done to improve the quality of life for the residents.

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.

"We had our mother in for rehab. The facilities are clean the staff is nice to the community and they try to make it a cheerful enviroment. We had a very good communications with the people who did all of our paperwork and help move mom to home, they were caring and considerate. But we had some problems with communication with the nursing staff and the caregivers, as an example, she had an injured leg and the evening staff while trying to move her grabbed her leg to help roll her. They said they didn't know it was injured, (this was the reason she was in rehab) She needed to go to the hospital at one point and the evening staff called the doctor to get the okay on Friday which he did, and on Tuesday she was still had not gone, we were not alerted that the staff had called the doctor or that the doctor had agreed that she could go to the hospital and it was only when we pressed and told them that we wanted her to go, that they was realized it had been approved days before. I felt like we were constantly checking and talking to staff and management and I am sure we were considered by them to be high maintenance because of this, but no matter where you put yourself or your parents you cannot leave them alone and expect everything to go smoothly They did try to communicate with us and make adjustments, but usually after something had occurred to start the conversation. Lastly, if your parents like to have a good meal you will have to bring them food. They have possibly the worst food at any facility that I have visited. When we asked what the meal was the staff just smiled and said they didn't know! It was undercernable as to chicken or fish. We found out that the people who live there take pictures of the food to show the low quality. At first we put it down to "hospital food" but we were wrong, it is grades below hospital food. They did say they were trying to improve it but apparently the low quality has been going on for years. I will still give them 3 stars for the facilities, cleanliness, cheerful environment, good rehab, nice people and they try. They were not mean in any way and they were helpful when asked. They have a church service on premises with an nice pastor. Overall if my mother didn't need exacting care this would be a good place. "

"I was in Hearthstone for 4 weeks of rehab following a hospital stay for surgery. I was in a double room but never had a roommate. It was quiet and comforting once I adjusted to the daily routine. Meals were brought to my room by very friendly Caretakers. They also aided me in showering and bathing in the most gentle and caring manner. I was receiving antibiotics by IV administered three times daily. The nurses were very competent and were genuinely interested in my progress. The PT and OT therapy provided was professional and comprehensive. I have to thank the entire staff at Hearthstone's rehab unit for an excellent stay and launching me toward a full recovery."

"I visited this facility and spent about a week meeting the staff and visiting with residents. The nursing assistants (who provide care directly to the residents) are all very hard working, and they seem to have a personal attachment to many of their residents. They meet daily to discuss changes in each resident's condition, so they are all aware of any new needs or concerns. The residents seemed to especially enjoy mealtimes when they were almost all able to sit together (and the food looked appealing). "

"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. "

"This place is so wonderful. Very caring, gentle and professional staff. I would list all of the people that I want to thank but am afraid of forgetting or excluding anyone because EVERYONE that works here has been great! My father is very fortunate to be here."

"The grounds at Caroline Kline Galland Home look beautiful, the staff has been very good working with my dad, and they're trying to get him so he can be a little more independent. I'm really happy with them. He was in quarantine when he got there; they're working very hard to get everybody safe. He said that the food seemed to be fine, it's kosher, though he's not Jewish. But they will allow you to bring in food from outside, so we've brought him food a couple of times now. Some of the issue is just with the communication, and trying to manage everything during the pandemic. The staff I've dealt with have been great, they've been very helpful, and seemed to be very concerned. They're trying to make sure that my dad's being taken care of. From what I've seen, the place looks really clean."

"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! "
