    Grateful but needs some improvements

    I placed my parent here and I'm very grateful - the facility is clean, well-laid out and family-run; the staff and comprehensive care team (doctors, nurses, therapists, social workers) are professional, caring and truly helpful. Their outstanding physical therapy and daily activities helped my loved one regain strength and feel at home, but we did experience problems with incorrect meals/diabetic diet, a non-working call light and delayed incontinence care that need improvement.

    Summary review

    The review set shows a strong overall positive sentiment about Sunshine Health & Rehab from multiple families and residents, balanced by at least one extremely serious complaint alleging major lapses in basic clinical care. Most reviews emphasize compassionate, professional staff and a well-organized, clean environment. Specific strengths repeatedly mentioned include an outstanding therapy program (physical therapy and rehab that helped residents regain strength and return home), a comprehensive interdisciplinary care team including physicians, nurses, therapists, and social workers, and staff who are described as caring, helpful, and comforting. Families reported smooth discharges, good communication, and that their loved ones were treated like family. The facility’s family-owned, two-generation character and a fresh, well-maintained building contribute to a homelike feeling and resident satisfaction.

    Facility operations and amenities receive frequent praise: tours are informative, staff assist with referrals, and rooms can be viewed remotely via Zoom. Activity programming appears robust and adaptable, with daily plans and activities tailored to resident needs. Multiple reviewers explicitly note that residents are happier than in prior settings, that staff are well trained and cooperative, and that the environment is loving and supportive. These consistent, detailed positive statements suggest that many families experienced high-quality, attentive care, especially around rehabilitation and therapy services.

    Contrasting sharply with the majority of positive accounts is one detailed, severe complaint describing critical failures: a non-working call light, a resident identified as high fall risk, failure to follow prescribed cardiac/diabetic diet plans, inappropriate meals (cookies, cake, pancakes) provided, extreme hyperglycemia recorded at a blood glucose of 579, alleged staff negligence, and delayed diaper changes. Those specific allegations point to potential clinical safety issues (medication/diet management, monitoring, timely incontinence care, and fall prevention). Because the nature of these faults—if accurate—represents immediate threats to resident safety (particularly for people with diabetes and fall risk), this negative report is significant even if it may be an outlier among otherwise positive reviews.

    Overall pattern and interpretation: most reviews form a coherent picture of a clean, family-oriented facility with strong rehabilitation services and a caring, professional staff that communicates well with families. The major strengths are interpersonal (compassion, individualized attention), therapeutic (effective rehab), and operational (cleanliness, activities, discharge processes). However, the severe negative report introduces concern about inconsistency in care quality or isolated but critical lapses in clinical protocol adherence. The reviews collectively suggest generally high performance with at least one allegation of dangerous negligence; this could indicate either an exceptional incident or uneven practices that merit confirmation.

    Given the mixed signals, the reviews should be read as largely favorable but not uniformly so. The positive themes are numerous and detailed, particularly around therapy success and family satisfaction. At the same time, the explicit nature of the negative claims—especially regarding diet noncompliance and dangerously high blood sugar—warrants further investigation (for example, asking the facility about incident reporting, diabetes management protocols, call-light maintenance, and staffing/shift consistency) before drawing a final judgment about safety for highly medically vulnerable residents.

    About Sunshine Health & Rehab

    Sunshine Health & Rehab sits in Spokane Valley, Washington, and belongs to Sunshine Health Facilities, Inc., which has run it for quite a while, being a member since 2008, and this place doesn't work inside a Continuing Care Retirement Community, so it stays focused on what it does best, caring for seniors through skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, home care, and rehabilitation, and you'll find 37 licensed skilled nursing beds and 137 assisted living beds, along with a handful of adult family homes for folks wanting something more home-like. The staff includes LPNs, RNs, home health aides, mental health professionals, and therapy specialists, and they handle a wide range of care, including rehabilitation for strokes or injuries, memory care through their Sunshine on Raymond program for people with dementia, home health care certified by Medicare, and behavioral/mental health treatment at Terrace, which gives people extra options if life has grown complicated. There's a steady focus on physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, both inpatient and outpatient, so people who've had surgery, illness, or an accident can work on feeling better, while enhanced assisted living helps smooth the trip from hospital back to regular routines when that's needed.

    The campus, which is wheelchair accessible throughout, includes rooms with private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and kitchenettes, and some rooms look out at gardens or walking paths, which are used for outdoor programs and walks. There's a restaurant-style dining area where a chef fixes meals every day, and all-day dining means residents can eat at a time that fits their schedule, with attention paid to allergies and special diets. When someone moves in, there's help with settling, along with housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and parking. Residents can join devotional activities at places like Holy Trinity Lutheran Church nearby or take part in community and resident-run events, movie nights in the theater, games, music, and art programs; there's a library, fitness room, wellnessspa, a game room to keep busy, and a schedule of daily activities indoors and out.

    People get help with bathing, dressing, medication, and transfers if needed, and there are services for diabetes, high medical needs, incontinence, and non-ambulatory care, with a 24-hour call system and staff watching around the clock. Housekeeping keeps things tidy, and the care team supports independence and dignity. Medicare and Medicaid are accepted for health coverage, and the ownership stays local, serving seniors in Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, and Coeur d'Alene, so most folks here stay close to home, and the setting tries to make things as peaceful and home-like as possible, from social events to quiet times in the gardens.
