Grays Harbor Health & Rehabilitation Center, often called Grays Harbor Health & Rehab, sits on Anderson Drive in Aberdeen, Washington, and holds a total of 105 licensed and Medicare-certified beds, though it usually has about 66 residents each day, and while the facility does have a memory care unit, hospice programs, and respite care, it's common to see both furnished private rooms and semi-private rooms, each with private bathrooms, which makes it a little easier for folks who want either more privacy or who are fine with sharing, and the center offers 24-hour skilled nursing care, long-term care, wound care, restorative therapy, and short-term rehabilitation for things like strokes, plus they support people coming over from acute care hospitals since the building sits steps away from one, and everyone gets access to a mix of health management services, medication management, and tailored support programs led by a care staff that includes certified nursing assistants and leaders like Patrick P Ward, Jamie Taylor, and Tyler Fossen. The nurse staffing level sits at about 4.03 hours per resident per day, but the nurse turnover rate is about 46.3%, which means sometimes staff change more often than folks might wish, though there's always a focus on personal treatment plans aiming to help both physical and emotional health, covering things like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, memory care for dementia, organized therapy supplies, and rehab equipment, plus the team offers family support and guidance for those lasting decisions about long-term care.
Grays Harbor Health & Rehab stands out for its specialized care for people with special needs, since you'll find services tailored to folks recovering from serious medical events, wound care, and health insurance coverage options for the residents, and the building is run by Avalon Health Care Management Of Washington LLC and Avalon Health Care Inc., which have managed the place for years, and while they offer transportation, laundry, and housekeeping service, the main draw's probably its mix of therapy programs, the emergency call system, support for advance directives, and an outdoor patio and courtyard that give everyone a bit of a break from being inside all the time, though inspection reports have listed 16 deficiencies, including some concerns about how residents are kept free from physical restraints unless needed for medical reason, proper notices on Medicaid and Medicare liability, and making sure people's treatment wishes and advance directives are respected.
There's a comfortable lobby in warm colors, a residents' lounge, walk-in tub, organized activities program, and support for people and families figuring out next steps, and while the management and dedicated team work to provide care and guidance, there's always room for improvement based on the issues found during inspections, but many people find peace of mind knowing there's a mix of health and rehabilitation options, emergency and insurance coverage support, and a commitment to seeing that everyone gets attention suited to their own health needs.
