Avamere Rehabilitation of Burien sits at 1031 SW 130th Street in Burien, Washington and serves as a skilled nursing facility with 140 licensed beds. The staff and nurses work day and night, so residents always have someone available, whether it's for medical help or just daily support. People get care in English, and nurses can help with long-term, short-term, or end-of-life care, as well as respite stays if families need a break. There are specialized programs for physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, and they've also got a therapy gym right on the premises so residents can work on gaining strength and getting back on their feet. The nurses do regular wellness checks, use a nurse call system, and help keep everyone safe in their private rooms, which also have telephones, televisions with headphones, and safety features built in for extra security and privacy.
This place tries to make things comfortable and easy for residents by providing meals, laundry, and cleaning, and there's always a healthcare professional around thanks to round-the-clock care. The dining room stands out with a grand piano, and residents can spend time in bright, colorful rooms, sit on the porch, or relax on plush chairs in the common areas, surrounded by cheerful decorations. The staff organizes all sorts of activities, from games and gardening to music, fitness classes, church meetings, visiting entertainment, and volunteer opportunities, plus they'll help with transportation when residents need to go out for appointments or group trips.
Social services support families as residents move in or transition between levels of care, and there's always a focus on promoting independence and making quality of life as high as possible. Healthcare is attentive, with licensed nurses and on-site therapists working together, and there's even help through telemedicine if someone needs it. The programs here carry their own names to highlight the specialized focus, and care gets tailored for each person, whether they need help recovering from surgery, managing daily living tasks, or handling long-term medical conditions. While Avamere Rehabilitation of Burien fits under Avamere Living and has Medicare certification, new patients aren't being accepted right now, but for those who live there, staff aim to deliver compassionate and personalized care every day under the guidance of administrator Kensie Tyler.
