Short-term rehab or long-term care?
Medicare rates these separately, and many homes are better at one than the other.
Short-term rehab
For a stay of a few weeks after a hospital visit, such as after surgery or a stroke.
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs0.0%State average: 1.3%Better than average
Physical therapist time: about 3 minutes a day per resident, averaged across all residents, including long-term residents who get little or no therapy. That is less than the state average of 5 minutes. It is not one person’s therapy schedule; if rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
Long-term care
For residents who live at the home for months or years.
- Falls with a major injury4.5%State average: 2.6%Worse than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)3.4%State average: 4.3%Better than average
- Given antipsychotic drugs6.2%State average: 15.1%Better than average
- Hospital stays per 1,000 resident days0.3State average: 1.3Better than average

Who pays, and how full it is

- 3% Medicare
- 75% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average97%Washington typical: 75%
Facility operating cost per resident day$422Washington typical: $474
Shares of resident days, from the home’s Medicare cost report for the year ending June 2025. The cost per day is what care costs the home to provide, not the price you would pay; ask the home for its private-pay rate. A busy home may have fewer open beds, so ask about availability.
