    Inconsistent care despite helpful staff

    I had a mixed stay. The facility is clean, and several nurses, CNAs and therapists were kind and effective - my rehab improved - but care was wildly inconsistent. I experienced delayed pain meds, unanswered call buttons, slow or refused bathroom help (diapering instead of assistance), poor post-op monitoring, bedsores and fall risk - Adult Protective Services got involved. Administration and communication were unreliable (surprise bills, price hikes, poor coordination) and dietary needs/food were often ignored. Because safety and responsiveness were so uneven, I would not recommend this place for a loved one.

    About Life Care Center of Richland

    Life Care Center of Richland is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility at 44 Goethals Drive in Richland, WA, with 104 licensed beds for residents needing short-term or long-term care, so folks get 24-hour skilled nursing, memory care, assisted living, independent living, nursing home, hospice, respite, and companion care services all under one roof, and you see they really do cover a lot of needs from seniors who want to stay independent to those needing more help. The center has licensed and certified staff, with in-house nurses and therapists who make individualized care plans and offer things like occupational and physical therapies, wound care, medication management, and support for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, plus regular health monitoring and recovery programs to help residents keep or regain independence, and there's always someone available since care services run twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

    The team helps seniors and their families decide on the right level of care with advice from senior care advisors, reviewing available services, amenities, move-in details, waiting list policies, and even cost and payment options, which is helpful since things like long-term care insurance are accepted, and they recommend talking to current residents and their families to get honest feedback before moving in, which seems sensible. People can schedule both in-person and virtual tours, and they post updates and information on their blog, social media, and gallery, so families can stay informed about what's happening at the center.

    Amenities include a dining room with meal services, a fitness center, a beauty salon and barbershop, wifi throughout, a TV lounge, activity and game rooms, and guest parking, with apartments offering private rooms, kitchens or kitchenettes, cable TV, and regular housekeeping and laundry services. Residents can join in social activities, arts and crafts, education, and wellness programs, and transportation services help folks get to appointments or run errands, which is good so people can keep up with life outside too.

    For memory care, they built in extra safety features and provide secure programs for people with memory issues, and the staff is trained to assist with walking, wheelchairs, bathing or toileting, medication, and therapies, and there's always a focus on making sure every care plan is tailored to each person. Safety and comfort are important, so the building has sprinkler systems, safety features for mobility, and regular maintenance. The facility is inspected to make sure standards stay high, and with so many options like skilled nursing, behavioral health, independent or assisted living, and rehabilitation, Life Care Center of Richland tries to meet a wide range of care needs for seniors in the Richland area.
