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.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 55% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. 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.
University Place Nursing and Rehabilitation Center presents a deeply polarized experience for families. While recent reviews highlight significant improvements under new administration, including a cleaner facility and more responsive staff, a persistent history of severe neglect, communication failures, and poor hygiene remains a major concern for many families. Prospective families should be aware of the stark contrast between the positive experiences in rehab and memory care and the recurring reports of staffing shortages and neglect.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff has taken good care of her, and most do the best they can at what is a very difficult job. When I express concerns, the staff are responsive and communicative.”
“My mother only stayed here for one night, and I would not return to the place. She called us the first night saying she needed help and could not get nurses attention for hours.”
“Since the change in administration, this facility has undergone a remarkable transformation and now operates at an exceptional standard.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement.
