What this means for your family
While the facility's therapy team is frequently praised for helping patients recover, the recurring reports of medication errors and long response times for basic needs are significant red flags. If you choose this facility, we strongly recommend that a family member visits daily to monitor medication administration and hygiene, and that you maintain direct contact with the facility administrator to ensure your loved one's needs are being met.

207 reviews on Google“Salmon Creek Post Acute & Rehabilitation receives highly polarized feedback, with many families reporting severe neglect, medication errors, and chronic understaffing. While some patients praise the physical therapy team and the cleanliness of the facility, a significant number of reviewers describe dangerous delays in call-light response times and poor communication from administration. Families should be aware that the facility's reputation for safety and responsiveness is inconsistent, with multiple reports of patients suffering falls or medical complications during their stay.”

Key Review Excerpts
“After waiting almost 30 minutes for someone to help me use the bathroom I fell in my own urine and had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital. Once I hit my call light and it took 1 hour 37 minutes for someone to respond.”
“The therapy team is great but that's about it. Call light wait times are long, CNAs are understaffed. Social worker team miss care conferences and expect family members to call and file an appeal when insurance tries to discharge the elderly family member too early.”
“My 93 year old father was recently here for six weeks to build back his strength... The staff from top to bottom was, generally speaking, efficient and kind. I don't really have any complaints.”
