CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.
Care Types in This Table AL (Assisted Living): Housing with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, without 24-hour skilled nursing. NH (Nursing Home): 24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs. SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility): Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness. MC (Memory Care): Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. RC (Respite Care): Short-term temporary care that gives family caregivers a break. IL (Independent Living): Community living with dining, activities, and transportation for active seniors who need little personal care. HC (Home Care): Professional care delivered in the person's own home, from companionship to skilled nursing. HOS (Hospice Care): Comfort-focused care for those with a terminal illness, prioritizing quality of life over treatment. PC (Palliative Care): Comfort-focused care for serious illness at any stage, including alongside curative treatment. CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community): A campus with multiple care levels so residents can age in place without moving.
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The Washington average is: 62.6% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.

Overview of Providence Mount St. Vincent

Providence Mount St. Vincent is a 122-bed senior living community in Seattle’s North Admiral neighborhood, offering a full continuum of care that spans independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing. That range means a resident can move between levels of care on the same campus as their needs change, without relocating to a different facility across town. The community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families several ways to structure coverage for either short-term rehabilitation or longer-term residential care.

On the clinical side, the campus includes a transitional care unit and outpatient rehabilitation services, along with a Wellness Clinic for ongoing health support. Rehabilitation and respite care are both available, and the community maintains 24-hour staffing. Total nursing care averages 4 hours and 38 minutes per resident each day, a meaningful level of hands-on support for residents in the skilled nursing setting. The average length of stay is 126 days, suggesting a mix of residents recovering from a hospital stay and those settling into longer-term care.

Inspection records for the community have most often centered on medication administration practices, staff screening and certification requirements, and administrative safety processes such as documentation and chemical storage. These are the kinds of operational details that regulators routinely check across skilled nursing communities, and families touring Providence Mount St. Vincent can ask staff how these areas are currently managed.

Life on campus includes an Intergenerational Learning Center, which brings younger generations into contact with residents, along with a barber and beauty salon, an on-site gift shop, and a thrift shop. Programming covers physical, social, cognitive, and spiritual care, giving residents a range of ways to stay engaged day to day. The neighborhood itself is moderately walkable, with a Walk Score of 60, meaning some errands and outings are accessible on foot while others will call for a short drive. With occupancy at 62 percent, out of 76 of 122 beds filled, the community currently has room to welcome new residents.

Overview of Skyline

Situated in Seattle, WA, Skyline Nursing Center provides rehabilitation and skilled nursing. Total nurse staffing is 5 hours and 20 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time allocated to each resident.

The 34-bed community is smaller in scale, which can support regular familiarity between residents and staff. It is also a high-rise with one-bedroom and two-bedroom housing options. Furthermore, the range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since moving between levels can be accommodated without leaving the community. Pets are allowed so that a resident may bring animal companions.

A Walk Score of 98 places the area in a walker’s paradise, where daily errands do not require a car. For a resident who no longer drives, errands can still be completed independently on foot. Payment options are Medicare and private pay. This also indicates that Medicare is used for short-term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long-term residence.

Overview of Woodland Assisted Living

Woodland Assisted Living in Woodland, WA, offers nursing home, assisted living, hospice care, independent living, palliative care, respite care and skilled nursing. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while a resident keeps a private apartment, while independent living provides private housing with community services and no daily care. Nursing home and skilled nursing provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Hospice and palliative care focus on comfort, and respite care provides a short term stay when a usual caregiver needs temporary relief.

The range of care levels can suit a resident whose needs change over time without requiring a move to a different community. There are 32 beds. It is a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know one another. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours 13 minutes per resident per day, representing the documented daily nurse time allocated to each resident.

Medicare can cover short term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid can support eligible residents, and private pay is also accepted. A Walk Score of 62 means some errands can be completed on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can reach certain nearby destinations independently. Fourteen private rehabilitation suites give residents receiving rehabilitation a private space for that stay.

Rehabilitation services and a hydrotherapy tub support therapy activities on site, while weekly van and bus outings provide scheduled transportation for community trips. A salon, landscaped courtyards and a walking path add places for grooming and outdoor walks. The Wellness Program and Restorative Nursing Program provide structured health and mobility activities. Justin Settlemier serves as the director, and Woodland Assisted Living may be a good fit for a resident or family seeking multiple care levels, including short term respite and skilled nursing, within one community.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Washington

Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Washington Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Washington Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 81 nursing homes in Washington. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Washington?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Washington, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Washington?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
