Overview of Josephine Caring Community

Facebook LinkedIn

Josephine Caring Community is an 86-bed nonprofit community in Stanwood, Washington, offering memory care, assisted living, transitional rehabilitation, and long-term care. Established in 1908, it is operated by Barbara Christoferson and serves residents across Snohomish County. The community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

CMS rates Josephine five stars overall, with Health Inspection and Quality Measure scores each running well above the Washington average. Across five inspections since 2023, the facility recorded 17 total deficiencies — 45% fewer than the Washington mean — with no fines, no Immediate Jeopardy findings, and no license actions. A substantiated complaint in August 2025 found an 11-day gap in Nurse Delegator coverage; the facility subsequently hired a replacement. The more significant data tension is staffing: nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 26 minutes per resident per day, 22.1% below the Washington average, ranking the facility 81st out of 89 state SNFs.

Two programs distinguish the community beyond standard care: Josephine At Home extends services to residents living in their own homes, and an onsite Early Learning and Childcare program integrates intergenerational programming into daily life. The facility’s occupancy rate is 59%, below the state average of 72.5%, indicating current availability across care levels.

Josephine Caring Community fits residents seeking long-term assisted living or memory care within a mission-driven, nonprofit setting and is structured for short-term rehabilitation stays for those who can tolerate staffing levels below the state norm.

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +11% above state avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 48m per day ▼ 9% State avg: 53m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 54m per day ▲ 11% State avg: 49m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 54m per day ▲ 8% State avg: 2h 41m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day

Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 3h 47m per day ■ Avg State avg: 3h 47m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 2m per day ▼ 59% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 34m per day ▼ 11% State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 28m per day
