Olympia has professional staff who attends to the personal needs of the residents. Everyone there treats the residents with respect and dignity. The staff is wonderful and can be considered a friend. Considering the stress and depressing nature of convalescence, they are always cheerful and encouraging towards the residents. The facility lacks modern amenities but makes it up with staff personalities. Quite frankly, I was turned off, when I first entered the establishment. After I saw how they managed daily care, I understood the difficulties of covalent care and give them applause for doing the thankless work that nobody else will do. Bravo!!!

My mother stayed at the Olympia Convalescent Hospital (OCH) for 3.5 years and although she left us last week to be in heaven, I wanted to truly thank the entire staff here for their incredible care and compassion throughout her time at the OCH. When your loved one is in a facility, you place your trust in the care of others and pray they'll be in the best hands possible. My mother wasn't the easiest person to care for, but this staff showed so much patience and care throughout her time here. They are very responsive and consistently nurtured the seniors here like it was their own relative. The dining caters to individual needs and is quite delicious. The team does a wonderful job on day time activities, walks them in the beautifully remodeled courtyard, showers them in a timely manner, and clothes them with fresh smelling laundry. The PT staff are just so wonderful - the entire team with their smiling faces are so welcoming. I need to recognize the heart and soul of the OCH, the head nurse - Grace. I've actually known Grace prior to my mom arriving at the OCH and her professionalism, honesty, unbelievable responsiveness (she actually called me from Asia on vacation) and warmth are beyond words. My heart can't thank her enough for everything she's done. The OCH is so blessed to have her. The energy and strength behind OCH comes from Esther Kwun. She will ALWAYS pick up her phone and go out of her way to help. Her humor, smile, and lovable personality are indispensable qualities that represent the OCH with such professionalism. I will miss her so much. A big thanks to Noel, who handles the finances. He is just a joy to talk to and I'm thrilled he's physically recovered so well. Claire and her partner, who does a marvelous job with social services never make mistakes. Their attention to detail in taking care of all the patients there keep things so organized. My mother, who was blind, just adored hearing Claire's lovely voice. Dalila, who my mom said was the best CNA there deserves a shout out. Thank you, Anna and others who gave her the best showers. Thank you Ernesto for the pleasantries every time we see each other. To the new guy, Joseph, who seems to be another wonderful addition there. And of course, Station 1, with Deborah, Marissa, Victoria - you all are just FABULOUS! .... and to my ever reliable, Hailu, who I will dearly miss. There are so many folks that I know I'm missing, but my heart is overjoyed and eyes filled with tears, that my mom was so well taken care of at the Olympia Convalescent Hospital. The Lord blessed us. THANK YOU and my family wishes the entire staff the very best!

도움이 필요하신 어른들을 위한 돌봐주심의 한가운데에 올림피아가 있습니다. 이민 생활 여러가지로 싶지 않지만 올림피아가 어려우신분들과 가족을 돕고 있어서 올림피아와 그 스태프들에게도 진심으로 감사드립니다.

Just by talking to admission coordinator, i will never put my parent in this facility. She was impatient and annoyed the fact that I didn’t understand her poor explanation. No way.
