Burien Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

I wrote my review. What happened to it? I wrote a long review.

Sadly, my dad had to come live here for just over a month. I have had experience with a couple of other non-​Washington located nursing centers, and I have to say: Burien, you’re doing a job well done.
My dad never had a complaint except for one: the cooking. I suppose he would complain due to the fact that he was on a diabetic and low-​sodium diet. If that’s his only complaint, I can tolerate that.
As his Power Of Attorney, and someone who is well versed in the medical field due to my own health issues, I am ALWAYS a person who believes that the «squeaky wheel gets the grease». In other words, I am a very good patient advocate. Burien Nursing and Rehabilitation Center always had someone on staff to grease my squeaky wheel, so to speak. If I had a question, I got an answer. If I had a problem, it was rectified without attitude or condescension.
Burien Nursing and Rehab is a Medicare approved, five-​star location, according to their marketing. There are a plethora of daily activities for clients and a lovely covered outdoor area where your loved one can’t «escape». Furthermore, there is a recreation office where you can keep a trust account of money for snacks, drinks, haircuts, and activities.
There is a wide range of services available to include physical therapy and occupational therapy, skilled nursing, an on-​call doctor who is also on site on occasion, and plenty of nursing staff.
If I had one complaint, it is probably due to my squeaky wheel. There are so many people working both in the care staff as well as in the office staff. That said, it was difficult at times to navigate who was who, who did what, and where to get specific answers. There were a couple of times I felt misdirected and caught in a shuffle between Medicare and Medicaid, two benefits I am completely unfamiliar with.
Seemingly, all is right in the world at Burien Nursing and Rehab. There is a possibility my dad will need further skilled nursing and I haven’t any reason to believe he won’t rehab right back at Burien.
