Salmon Creek Post Acute & Rehabilitation

Salmon Creek Post Acute & Rehabilitation sits at 2811 N.E 139th Street in Vancouver, Washington, and the place goes big on care for folks who need help recovering or living with long-term health problems, and you'll find everything from nursing and rehab to hospice and respite care under one roof, so the team covers all those needs for short-term recovery after surgery or longer times if someone's quite frail, and you know, the staff includes a Master of Occupational Therapy Student, a Director of Rehabilitation who's a COTA/L, and a bunch of licensed folks like PTAs and physical therapists, so there's plenty of know-how for people getting physical, occupational, or speech therapy. There's always skilled nursing on hand, day and night, with special help for folks who might need wound care or insulin, plus there's care for dementia and Alzheimer's, oncology, bariatric needs, pulmonary treatments, post-surgery, orthopedic rehabilitation, tracheostomy, and even hospice and palliative care, and the team can handle two-person transfers and Hoyer lifts, which not every place does. With a good-sized team that gets support for growing their careers, flexible work schedules, and what they describe as a friendly, supportive atmosphere, the idea is to keep the caregivers sharp and happy. The facility has 120 licensed and 120 WHCA beds, and you can pick private or semi-private rooms, all with private phone lines and flat screens, and folks can use free Wi-Fi throughout, and even hang out at the internet cafes, beauty shop, barber, or kick back in the outdoor recreation areas, patio garden, or the library. There's a rehab gym with the latest therapy equipment, and all the rooms and spaces feel up-to-date, and the staff says they follow a "People First" care approach, where everyone tries to be attentive, and patients are encouraged to regain independence when recovering from injury or illness. Salmon Creek Post Acute & Rehabilitation offers support for the LGBT+ community and can help with referrals for other care if someone needs it at home later on, and some people stay long-term, while others rest up for a short time before going home. It's recognized for its services, having made the U.S. News & World Report list for best short-term rehabilitation in 2024, and everything's managed by Hill Valley Healthcare, LLC, and Medicare is accepted, making access a bit easier for those who need it. The place keeps a team available 24/7 to help with questions or to set up tours, and with hospice, home health, home care, and specialized dementia services, there's something for many different needs, so it's a spot that tries to cover most situations seniors and their families may face.
