The current census stands at 51 residents with occupancy at 67.4%, below the Washington state average of 72.5%.

As part of the Careage Community network, Mission Healthcare describes its clinical focus on short-term post-acute rehabilitation, including cardiac rehabilitation, fall prevention, and neurological recovery. Therapy services encompass speech, occupational, and physical therapy.

Nursing care averages 4 hours 33 minutes per resident per day, ranking 17th among 89 Washington facilities and exceeding the state average by 8%. The facility maintains a staff-to-resident ratio of 3.12:1, above the state average, though this metric reflects current below-average occupancy. Contractors comprise 21.6% of total staffing hours.

Despite high absolute nursing hours, the facility’s CMS staffing rating is 1-star, placing it 70.8% below the state average. The overall CMS rating is 2-star (38% below state average), with health inspection rated 2-star (29% below state average) and quality measures rated 3-star (27% above state average).

Conversely, 16.7% of long-stay residents experience excessive weight loss; 187% worse than the state average. Short-stay influenza vaccination reaches 67.8%, 17% below the state average.

The facility has not faced federal penalties in three years. However, financial performance deteriorated significantly. The facility reported a $2.9 million operating deficit against $10.2 million in revenue, yielding a -28.3% profit margin.

Payroll comprises 62.5% of revenue; a top-tier investment ranking 10th of 93 state facilities.

The facility operated at cumulative losses since 2015, with bed capacity reduced from 129 to 69 beds in 2019. Financial data through 2023 shows persistent operating deficits despite payroll prioritization.

Mission Healthcare is situated in a very walkable location (walk score 83) in suburban Bellevue, 4.3 miles from the city center and 2.72 miles from Kaiser Permanente Bellevue Medical Center.

The facility is structured for Medicare and private-pay short-term post-acute rehabilitation in a specialized care environment, though financial constraints and occupancy challenges suggest operational strain.
