Overview of Panorama City

Panorama City is a not-for-profit continuing care retirement community in Lacey, Washington, offering independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care for those 62+ in Thurston County. Along with a 50-bed capacity, the community’s full continuum of care provides continuity and long-term stability under one roof. As a nonprofit organization, the community follows a mission-driven approach that appeals to families who prioritize resident well-being over profit.

While limited, the community has a well-detailed inspection record. The most recent inspection by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services on July 19, 2023, identified 9 deficiencies, which is well below the state average of 31. These findings were primarily related to fire and life safety documentation and equipment maintenance. A confirmed complaint investigation in December 2022 also cited a failure to report a resident’s fall with serious injury within the required 24-hour timeframe. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were reported. Overall, the record points to procedural and documentation issues rather than direct care concerns, though families may want to verify current practices during a visit.

Along with a wide range of services and amenities, including skilled nursing care, 24-hour staffing, continuous urgent response, and on-site security, wellness checks, rehabilitation services, and respite care are also provided. Lifestyle services also include three meals per day with snacks, as well as weekly housekeeping and twice-weekly laundry services. Utilities are included in the monthly cost, and pets are allowed. Notably, the community does not accept Medicaid or Medicare, and payment options are limited to private pay and long-term care insurance.

Panorama City is well-suited for adults aged 62 and older seeking a full-service retirement community with a mission-focused approach. While its nonprofit structure and comprehensive continuum of care make it especially appealing for those planning ahead, it is more suitable for those who are able to pay privately or use long-term care insurance.

Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans.

They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 52m per day ▲ 10% State avg: 48m 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.

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. 38m per day ▼ 3% State avg: 39m per day · National avg: 29m per day
