Puget Sound Transitional Care sits in Des Moines, WA, where they offer skilled nursing and in-house therapy for people who need short-term rehab or long-term care, and the place keeps 165 licensed beds, making room for folks in private or semi-private rooms with big layouts and modern features, and you'll see well-kept grounds and a bright, glass-wrapped gym, plus a 24-hour bistro just for staff. The care team includes nurses, doctors, and a range of therapists who handle everything from pain and wound care to balance training and swallowing problems, so someone there's always available, day and night, for different medical needs like medication support, rehabilitation, and occupational therapy, with podiatry visits planned if needed. They've got laundry and dry cleaning, housekeeping, a dining room with good meal options, and activities that run throughout the day-whether it's arts, crafts, or movement sessions in the fitness center, folks can fill their days as they like, and the activities calendar is full each month.
People can use Wi-Fi, cable TV, washers, dryers, and even have kitchens or kitchenettes in some areas, all set up with safety features like handrails and a sprinkler system in case of trouble. The in-house team designs individual care plans by meeting with residents and families, and they keep an eye on progress with post-program screenings to help residents stay on track after going home, and for those who need it, outpatient therapy's there after discharge. Staff don't come from outside agencies, so the team knows each other well, and they say this helps residents feel secure and cared for every day. They accept Medicare and Medicaid, and their processes include home assessments to set up the right rehab plan before someone heads home again. The campus has a beauty salon and barbershop, a game and activities room, guest parking, and help with daily tasks like dressing and grooming by trained caregivers. There's a strong focus on safe movement and reducing falls using modern therapy methods, and the staff includes experts for more complex problems-like lymphedema or speech-language trouble.
The leadership, with Sinforosa Jumawan as executive director, guides an in-house team that aims for a family-like feeling, always encouraging caregivers to make decisions and be present for residents whenever needed, day or night. Amenities are explained to everyone when they move in, so people can feel at home faster and know what's available to them, and they review privacy rights and offer accessible services for people with disabilities. They also make it possible for people to see the facility online through a virtual tour, so you can get a sense of the modern equipment and well-landscaped grounds before going in person. The facility is owned by Ensign Services, Inc., and stays committed to a high standard of care, making sure all therapies and meal plans support each person's recovery, health, or general comfort, and the focus stays on detail-whether it's the cable TV in rooms, the security system, or the time spent helping each person get back to their best level of independence before heading home.
