Agility Health and Rehabilitation sits on Bridgeport Way in University Place, Washington, and the staff speak English there, which helps people feel at ease if they need assistance or just want to have a chat; walking inside, one can find a library, a beauty salon, and comfortable rooms that have kitchenettes, cable television, and Wi-Fi, which makes daily living a bit easier for those who stay there, especially with housekeeping services that keep things tidy and the transportation that can take groups out for planned outings. Meals come in a restaurant-style dining room, and the cooks pay attention to dietary needs and preferences, which is helpful for those who need special diets, and there have been awards for both the quality of the meals and the variety of activities provided. Some activities in the community include exercise classes, movie nights, and craft projects that folks can join, and programs exist for both mental wellness and reaching out to families, which people can ask for if needed, since a lot of folks want some extra support now and then. Those needing daily help, like getting dressed, can ask staff for assistance, and nursing care goes on throughout the day and night, making services like pain management, wound care, and medication administration a part of daily life here, not to mention rehabilitation treatments and equipment for those regaining strength or balance, all overseen under a Skilled Nursing Facility designation with 120 licensed beds and an average of about 107 residents every day.
The facility belongs to Vertical Health Services, and William Miller has managed it since June 2023, running as a for-profit corporation, and the staff's friendly culture has collected awards for being joyful, helpful, and kind, which does make things feel less lonely in a place like this, especially with a high review score from residents and families. Inspection reports have shown 33 deficiencies in the last 36 months, including three related to infection, and there was a pharmacy deficiency about unnecessary medications, a nutrition and dietary deficiency to do with food sourcing and handling, and a deficiency regarding resident rights about participation in groups, though none led to actual harm but were noted as opportunities to improve. The nursing staff puts in about 4.06 hours per resident each day, though turnover is at 49.1%, which can mean different staff from month to month, and it's important to know Medicare covers some beds for skilled care needs. The home isn't accepting new patients right now, which matters for folks seeking immediate placement, and all care is done in English. Agility Health and Rehabilitation, with an average of 107 people staying each day, covers both nursing home services and senior living options, caring for those with physical or mental health needs, and also runs an operation over in Tumwater, but this University Place location stays busy serving local seniors and families needing detailed, attentive care.
