These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
No Medicare penalties on record · Staff turnover reported at 21%
Judson Park Health Center has a strong overall Medicare rating. RN hours meet the EveryPlace reference benchmark, which is one useful staffing signal to discuss during a visit. Public reviewers frequently mention: scenic location with puget sound views and active social calendar and intellectual programs. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Judson Park Health Center receives polarized feedback, with long-term residents in independent living generally praising the community, social activities, and scenic views. However, families of short-term rehab and skilled nursing patients report significant concerns regarding inconsistent nursing care, slow response times to call lights, and poor discharge planning. Prospective families should carefully weigh the positive independent living environment against the serious clinical and communication issues reported in the health center.
