What this means for your family
While the facility is undergoing visible renovations and some families report positive experiences with the new management, the recurring reports of ignored call lights and neglect are significant red flags. If you are considering this facility, we strongly recommend conducting an unannounced visit and asking specifically about current nurse-to-patient ratios and the protocol for responding to call buttons during night and weekend shifts.

18 reviews on Google“Olympic View Post Acute is currently undergoing a significant transition under new management, resulting in highly polarized feedback. While recent positive reviews praise the facility's physical upgrades and a newfound sense of compassion among staff, multiple families report critical issues regarding severe understaffing, ignored call buttons, and poor hygiene standards. Potential families should be aware of the stark contrast between the facility's recent aesthetic improvements and ongoing concerns about basic patient care and responsiveness.”

Key Review Excerpts
“My mother spent one week in this facility. On her 3rd day there, she and her roommate tried for an hour and a half to get help both by using the call button and calling for help.”
“We found this facilty to be horrifyingly UNDERSTAFFED as a standard practice. Call requests are often ignored. Administration is sloppy at procedural operations.”
“This is the first time I can say that from top down, everyone demonstrates a genuine compassion in wanting the best for the residents. I am in awe of the radical transformations this home has made in a short time.”
