Transitions Healthcare

We toured Transitions Healthcare Washington. Transitions is a nursing home and the community we chose is not. We also chose the other community because it was nicer.

Residents seemed well cared for and staff were attentive. The facility is working to redo rooms with new "wood look" laminate. Walls are white with little art or decoration. Acceptable, but could be hugely improved if they redecorated to make the facility more home like. Very clinical.

Place is being renovated -staff were very nice- level of care was not appropriate for my wife's needs. The dementia unit would not be appropriate either- the environment of care was not what I want for my wife. I would use Transitions again, but Mary would need more help in ADLs and security as well as cueing for bathroom and ensuring she was watched and taken care of for everything.

Our family had an in person tour and it was just not a good first impression it was really dirty

Arrived at appointment time. No one was there to greet us. Told to wait. There was not a place to wait. What we did see was very depressing. Decided not to stay and visit.

My Mother is housed at this facility, not my choice and I have no legal right to move her. We visited and she has had on slacks that have been soiled. The floor in her room has been filthy and the bathroom also. She is always in bed when we arrive, even when most of the people are in the dining room eating. The staff always tells us she's tired and didn't want to eat. There is no place to visit with her except in her room as the tv room is very small. The front hallway where there is a sofa is open to all and not pleasant. As for the staff, who knows? I could walk out with her and know one would ever know she was gone for days or at least hours. We always have to hunt someone down to let them know we are taking her out. Please don't allow your parent or loved one to be corralled at this place.
