Mount Vernon Wa Life Care Center…read more I went to MVLCC after complications for an amputation with the idea that I would do a rehab stint there. These are my observations from a stay that ultimately was just under 8 weeks and included a state inspection where the state inspectors interviewed me. The Facility and My Room The facility serves 2 purposes, rehab, and long term residency. The facility is laid out nicely with a dining room adjacent to the kitchen, a day room to one side of the dining room and a centrally located activity room where groups could get together. The Gym and rehab rooms are at the far end of the building. There are a few nursing stations scattered down the central hallway. There is a dedicated shower room as none of the rooms seemed to have a shower in them, The Facility itself is dated and suffering from a lot of deferred maintenance they are playing catch up on. It needs paint, carpet, plumbing fixes here and there as well as some Hvac work.. I would expect the conditions to improve as they work the issues. My room was set up for 2 people and had 2 TVs but only 1 sink and shared a bathroom with the adjacent room. This wasn't too bad to deal with, but I might feel different if I was a woman sharing a bathroom with men in the connecting room. We did share the bathroom with women in the adjoining room for a short while. The gym and rehab room were what I was focused on and the equipment, while old, got the job done. The food was generally uninspiring, but they feed a lot of people 3 times a day so perhaps I need to ratchet my expectations down a bit. The kitchen staff also had to split meals between those residents eating in the dining room and those eating in their rooms so all in all, they did ok. There was limited consideration to doing diabetic options and I don't recall there being a dietician on staff. Now we get to talk about what made all of these shortcomings tolerable for me. The people on staff in Physical Therapy and the Occupational Therapy rooms were excellent and the one on one time they spend with you is tailored to what your individual health journey requires. I got stronger faster because of them and I can't say enough good things about them. Also, the CNAs, those non nurse caregivers, were great. Those that I interacted with took really good care and looked out for me, I owe them my thanks. But we need to consider that I was a low maintenance patient as I could do a lot of things for myself, others are not as lucky as I am and I noticed a distinct dropoff in care for those needing more help, and that's a shame. The Nurses I had were outstanding and made sure I was on time with my meds as well as doing a good job with wound care. One was also an amputee and walked me through some of my issues and that really helped. The Admin folks were really good at dealing with the insurance stuff as well as getting deliveries and mail to me. There was one particular bad apple among them but you just have to look beyond them So, would I go back there? If you are there for rehab, Yes, the good outweighs the bad and I can tell myself I can do anything for a month. If you are looking for long term care, I would ask them how they are doing on the deficiencies noted in their annual state inspection that occurred while I was there. Ask to see the report.
