Vashon Community Care Center is located on Vashon Island in Washington state and provides a spectrum of senior care services. This facility offers both assisted living and skilled nursing care, tailored to meet the diverse health and personal needs of its residents. It is situated within a tranquil community setting and certified by both Medicare and Medicaid, participating in Medicare since October 1991. Accommodating up to 26 residents, this center is part of the larger nonprofit organization Transforming Age, which is dedicated to delivering innovative and comprehensive solutions for senior care. The facility has adopted a person-centered care approach, emphasizing the overall well-being and health support for its residents, and engages in several community-centered activities to enhance the quality of its services and infrastructure.
Vashon Community Care Center provides its residents with access to licensed nurses who administer medical support and daily care requirements. Additionally, the center offers counseling for both residents and their families to address emotional, social, and familial needs as they adapt to communal living settings. However, recent reviews have raised significant concerns about the quality and professionalism of care provided. Reports from family members and residents have indicated issues such as staff rudeness, language barriers, inadequate training, and documentation lapses. An incident involving staff neglect resulting in a formal complaint to state authorities has further highlighted these concerns. Operational challenges include understaffing, administrative mismanagement, and financial miscommunication, all contributing to dissatisfaction among families who have questioned the facility's ability to ensure the welfare of their loved ones. Despite these setbacks, some feedback acknowledges the compassionate efforts of individual certified nursing assistants and registered nurses when they are available to attend to residents.
