I live here, it's an awful place to live. We are constantly UNDERSTAFFED. When I call for help it takes 30-40 minutes for help. The food is gross. The kitchen staff doesn't communicate making food served unwanted Several pieces of property have been broken or stolen and never ever replaced. Please, if you truly hate someone.... Sent that person to Transitional Care Center of Seattle. By the way... The eggs served here ARE fake. Powdered eggs or some frozen disk with the yellow directly in the center... It's awful here.

I live next to this building, and it seems the residents are often neglected. There are constant screams for help. If it was just one person, it could be dismissed as someone having a crisis, but I've heard many different people screaming for help over the last 3 years. If I were ever looking for care for a loved one, I wouldn't think to send them here.

It's difficult to give this place a one star. A negative 3 fits here.

Do NOT bring your loved ones here. My brother came for rehab and all they have done is make him worse. The food is mostly inedible and the care from the staff is hit or miss.... mostly miss. They leave him in urine and feces for up to 24 hours before they clean him up. Unfortunately this seems to be the state of care in many, if not most, rehab and long term care facilities now a days.
