No Medicare penalties on record
Washington Healthcare Center has a strong overall Medicare rating. Public reviewers frequently mention: warm, attentive nursing and cna staff and effective physical therapy department. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Washington Healthcare Center receives highly polarized feedback, with many families praising the facility as clean and the staff as caring, while others report severe instances of neglect and poor communication. While some reviewers highlight excellent therapy and attentive nursing, a significant number of negative reports cite slow response times, hygiene issues, and inadequate staffing levels. Prospective families should be aware of these inconsistencies and conduct a thorough, in-person tour to assess current conditions.

Key Review Excerpts
“My father has late stage dementia and it’s been a tough situation for my family, but I’ve been so impressed by the wonderful care he is given at Washington Healthcare and the memory care unit. Every employee I’ve met is sweet, caring, patient and professional.”
“The first 5 days at Washington he just laid in bed. No PT was given to him. This caused him to develop bed sores that we were not notified about.”
“I have pictures of the sloppy nursing. Iv medicine all over the floor...old iv bag thrown on spare bed in the room,.used iv tubing shoved in the bed side drawer.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
