Judson Park Health Center sits along the shores of Puget Sound, where folks can look out over the water, and you'll see residents enjoying the view or heading to the bistro for a bite, and some even like to attend lecture series right in their own community, which makes the place feel friendly and alive, but really, what stands out here is how the center covers a full range of care, since it's a Life Plan Community run by Humangood Norcal since 2015. People can find options from independent living in modern apartments with little to no extra help needed, all the way to skilled nursing and memory support within a secure setting with alert staff, the Immerse™ program for folks with memory needs, and staff who know how to help those living with Alzheimer's and dementia, plus a secure outdoor area for fresh air.
The center's got 96 certified beds and averages about 80 residents each day, providing services that range from hospice to Medicare-certified home health care, adult day programs, and even dialysis right there if needed-so you don't have to leave for a treatment. Nurse staffing hours come to 4.73 per resident per day, which is better than the state's average, and nurse turnover is lower here, which means some steadiness. Long-term care and short-stay rehab are available for those moving between the hospital and home, and assisted living is offered with personal support and private rooms or even apartments, some with kitchenettes. Independent living means little to no support needed and a maintenance-free lifestyle, but all within the same community, so folks can move between levels of care if health or needs ever change.
Judson Park Health Center keeps resources on hand for seniors and their families, and anyone can find more details on their website, or even send messages for questions. As far as state inspections go, the facility has had some trouble areas, with 50 total deficiencies showing up in reports, four of them infection-related, and there's also been a citation for not keeping up with federal standards on infection spread, plus a recent inspection in May 2024 turned up 17 deficiencies, including ones about infection control, resident assessments, care plans not being ready within seven days, and some issues involving residents' right to get notified before being transferred or discharged. Still, many people value the community here for its kindness, the connection between residents, and the steady mix of helpful amenities and programs, all aimed at giving folks security and dignity as they age.
