This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. The latest standard survey recorded 43 findings, above the WA average of 17.1. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Avamere Rehabilitation of Shoreline receives highly polarized feedback, with some families praising the physical therapy team and food quality, while others report severe neglect and unprofessional conduct.

Key Review Excerpts
“The CNAs are argumentative and some are down right lazy. I have continually been ignored even when my call light is on. Sometimes waiting for 2 hours to see a Nurse.”
“My mom has barely been there a week and she already wants to leave. While she said most of the the day time CNA’s/nurses are kind and amazing, some of the night CNA’s are extremely rude, refuse to do simple things that are their jobs, ignore he call light for hours.”
“I have never heard so many food compliments at a Skilled Nursing! The residents are very happy and well cared for. Stable staff who get to know their residents likes and dislikes and give loving care.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions.
