Premier Washington Rehabilitation And Nursing Center sits at 36 Old Hickory Ridge Road in Washington, PA, offering both short-term rehab and long-term care in a 288-bed facility that sees about 261 residents a day and has nurses and therapists available all day and night, so help's never far away, though nurse staffing averages about 3.10 hours per resident a day, which is a bit below the state's average, and the nurse turnover rate stands higher than most, so you might see some new faces from time to time. The place handles everything from skilled nursing and memory care to palliative and respite care, with programs for Alzheimer's, stroke rehab, wound care, therapy, and other specialized medical needs like dialysis, cancer care, cardiac care, IV care, and more, making it a spot that takes you in for anything from a short stay after the hospital to ongoing care if you need lots of help with dressing, bathing, transfers, and medication.
Residents live in furnished rooms with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, phone lines, air conditioning, and fast Wi-Fi, and the dining room serves chef-prepared meals, including allergy-sensitive options, plus there's move-in help, housecleaning, laundry, and a concierge who'll help with day-to-day issues, making it feel a little more homelike, and there's a call system to get help any time, day or night. The facility has its own spa and wellness room, a fitness room where you can work out or do therapy if that's your thing, plus there's a theater, game room, arts room, a small library, and even a garden and walking paths outside for fresh air, and community spaces where daily activities or music take place, so you won't sit bored unless you really want to, and family support and councils aim to give both residents and loved ones a say about life and care here.
There's onsite therapy for physical, speech, and occupational needs, tailored to personal goals whether it's regaining strength or getting back to daily life, and a team works together on care plans meant to fit what each person needs, whether you want to be more independent or just need comfort. For residents who can't get around on their own, the crew helps with getting in or out of bed, going to meals, keeping clean, and handling medicine, and there's a focus on supporting frail seniors or those who need advanced nursing care, especially in cases where rehab and non-ambulatory support is needed.
The place is for-profit, owned by Washington Operating Holdings, Crestview 360 Holdings LLC, Crestview 720 Trust, and Yaakov Sod, with Jonathan Bleier and Yaakov Sod also having some control, and while the facility is clean, busy, and near local hospitals, there have been some issues during inspections-twenty-nine deficiencies in all, with some related to pharmacy practices, infection control standards not always followed, and food safety such as not always getting food from approved places or handling it right, so that's something families tend to look at carefully. The center does accept Medicare and Medicaid, and if you want, you can arrange a tour to get a better sense for what life's like here since it's been described as blending care and community, aiming for each resident to live their unique life with respect, dignity, and as much comfort as possible with various support structures in place from specialized care to scheduled and resident-run activities.
