I accompany my best friend to visit his uncle who is a patient at Washington Center. The moment we enter the facility , the place is clean and neat , well lighted and no odor. Patients are well taken care and looks clean presentable. We stayed at the patio and have privacy to be with my friend’s family. I highly recommend this place if you need to stay in nursing facility.

Great experience overall. I recently went to visit a loved one here, and I was truly touched by how caring and welcoming the staff were. Everyone I encountered was kind, patient, and attentive to the residents. It was comforting to see the genuine care and respect they show each person. Thank you to the entire team for creating a warm and caring environment.

If I can give this place a 0 I would this facility is terrible!!! Get your parents out of here these lvn don’t do there job. My dad was hit in the face not knowing I was standing there behind the curtain. I could imagine what they are doing when we are not there! This place neglected everyone there. If you need to talk to me and I can provide proof of pictures. Please reach out to me if you need it!

My primary care doctor referred me to this place, I was nervous about the process as this was a first time for me. I did not expect to get such attentive care. There was some issues with the TV, but they were quick to fix it. food wasn't always the greatest, but they offered alternatives and that worked. These nurses and care takers have such a demanding job, yet they were all so patient and kind, they deserve the full 5 starts.

My mother in law just completed a two month stay here, and we were pleasantly surprised by how kind and caring everyone is. The facility is clean, every time I visited I never smelt any bad odors. Thank you to the staff who were a great support to help my mother get back on her feet and help me order what was needed to bring her home safely. I hope that we never have to comeback again, but if we do I truly would choose the same one. Thank you for your kindness and caring that you show us while my mother in law was at your facility.

The admissions team here made the entire process so smooth and welcoming. From the very first call, they were incredibly friendly, patient, and attentive to our needs. Like most nursing homes the staff is stretched thin but even so, you can tell they truly care, and it shows in every interaction. We felt confident and at ease knowing our loved one would be in such a supportive environment!

Happy Customer- my brother suffers from dementia and has been a resident at Washington Center for many years; he is safe and happy. The staff is friendly and caring. Like most Nursing homes the care staff is stretched thin, that said they take good care of my brother.

Washington Care is half assisted living and half nursing home. The rooms were a little small, the food was better than average, and the dining room seemed adequate. The people were helpful in a pinch. They have two small parking lots, and they need an automatic door. The physical therapy staff was excellent, but they were a little slow for calling to the bedside.

My friend’s mother was at Washington Care and Rehab Center. She had the recommendations, so I put my mother there. The staff was very nice. The rooms are adequate. She has a roommate. She likes it there. She eats in her room. She eats the food, so I guess it’s alright. What she likes to do is go play the bingo. They have that 3 days a week.

My sisters and I look forward to visiting our Mom here each week and are quite satisfied with the care, attention and activities that are available to her. It did take some time for my Mom to adjust living here (about 6 mths.), since she was living in her own home and on her own her whole life. She's now friends with the friendly staff and has been enjoying the parties and activities here.
