Edmonds Post Acute
21400 72ND AVENUE WEST, EDMONDS, WA 98026
Conflicted. Edmonds Post Acute is running a bizarrely split operation, boasting a strong four-star staffing setup right alongside a rock-bottom, one-star federal inspection rating. On the bright side, having nearly an hour of daily RN attention per resident means there is actual medical horsepower in the building, and you won’t be waiting until sunrise for someone to answer a late-night call light. There are also zero federal fines on record, though we have no clue if that clean financial sheet is from last month or five years ago. However, we have to talk about the HIGH_MOBILITY_DECLINE flag, which means nearly a quarter of long-stay residents are losing their ability to move around, a red flag that usually translates to people being left in bed rather than getting up for walks or physical therapy. When you visit, don't get distracted by the friendly faces; walk straight up to the administrator and ask why so many residents are losing their physical independence when there is supposedly enough staff on hand to help them move.

PINE RIDGE POST ACUTE
21008 76TH AVENUE WEST, EDMONDS, WA 98026
Decent. PINE RIDGE POST ACUTE brings above-average staffing (5.0/5), high quality measure scores (4.0/5), 0.90 RN hours per resident daily, and low staff turnover (21%) — Palmelle trust score 38/100. There are 1 federal fine(s) on record — no date context, so worth asking about directly. Worth asking: Pressure ulcer (bedsore) rate is 11.5% — well above the national median of about 7%. Pressure ulcers form when staff don't reposition residents every two hours. This is a staffing-and-attention signal as much as a clinical one. Worth asking what the repositioning schedule looks like. Worth asking: Falls with major injury rate is 5.5% — above the national median of about 3%. A spike usually means call lights aren't getting answered fast enough or the facility is short on aides during transfer-heavy hours like mealtimes. Worth asking how long the call-light response window is during evening shifts. Worth asking: Mobility-decline rate is 36.4% — meaning that share of long-stay residents lost ability to move between measurements (above the national median of about 17%). High decline suggests no PT/OT program or no daily walking — residents are being allowed to become bed-bound. Worth asking what the rehab and activities calendar actually looks like. Worth asking: Long-stay antipsychotic rate is just 5% — well below the national median of about 14%. This facility is treating behavior and dementia symptoms with engagement, environmental design, and personalized routines instead of prescriptions. That's hard to do and rare to find. Worth asking: Annual nursing staff turnover is 21% — well below the industry average of 50-60%. The same caregivers are coming back week after week, which means residents see familiar faces who know their preferences and history. Continuity of care is one of the biggest invisible quality signals.
