Benson Heights Rehabilitation Center

Benson Heights Rehabilitation Center sits on Benson Rd SE in Kent, WA, and has 91 beds, with 89 residents right now, so it stays almost full most of the time, and you can see the staff at Benson Heights are there around the clock with 24-hour nursing care to help folks who need short-term rehab or long-term skilled nursing, because they're a licensed Skilled Nursing Facility with Medicare and Medicaid certification under Avalon Health Care, Inc, and they're also part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, so people get everything from independent living right up through end-of-life care. There's a dedicated Care Manager assigned to each patient to look after care planning, help with outings, and make sure the right activities happen, which is supported by a therapy team with over 25 years of mental health experience, and you'll find services like physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy all provided on site, so no need to leave the building for regular rehab appointments. In-house insurance and case management folks work with families and residents to handle paperwork and plan benefits, and the center offers everything from wound care, IV therapy, nutrition support, tracheotomy care, catheter and ostomy help, all the way to hospice and respite care when it's called for, along with both private and semi-private rooms all featuring safety measures. The building itself has social rooms, recreational rooms, activity areas, and a special aquatic center with a heated saltwater pool, a whirlpool, and even a current generator for those who want to keep up with lap swimming or try aquatic therapy, and then there's a saltwater hot tub for relaxing after the swim. Residents can take part in music therapy, pet therapy, regular community outings, and various social or recreational events, because keeping life interesting is part of what the staff tries to do, and there are always choices for what to take part in. Benson Heights has a mental health professional on site, and the care team pays close attention to wellness, aiming to support people's physical and emotional needs as best as they can, so you'll see compassion and regular wellness checks are just standard. Transportation is arranged for outings or appointments, and cleanliness is given priority with well-kept facilities. Benson Heights stays steady as a trusted place for care, with a high community score, and brings a broad set of health, nursing, and therapy services, all bundled under one roof, which sometimes makes life a bit easier for everyone involved.
